Los Finsteros: Blame it on El Nino ©

Blame it on El Nino (Farkoff)
Los Finsteros (a band of extinction). Live in the studio, 2000.

This video is part of some vintage Los Finsteros live studio sessions captured at the Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, NY. The sessions were subsequently aired on Public Access Television. These lost videos are being dusted off and restored - some of them from badly damaged media. More videos will be released in the near future, as they are completed, until all fourteen of them (hopefully) are done.

For more than thirty years, the members of Los Finsteros have been playing music from their mixed bag of tunes that can entertain a full spectrum of audiences. From Old Timey to Boot Scooters and swinging jitterbugs to rock and rollers, this band can keep a crowd on their feet and off their guard. With guitars, tenor banjo, keyboard, accordion, fiddle, mandolins, harmonicas, stand up bass, drums, washboard, and sometimes brass, reeds, and kazoo, Los Finsteros can play through their complete sound system or go totally fireside acoustic.

Pretty darn good for one of LF's least rehearsed songs (a new one at the time).

I can't wait to see the rest of the videos from that session!
