Far Fen, Peruvian Sixties Farfisa Band
Check out Peru’s Far Fen, and their awesome use of the Knee Booster in this great song from 1969. According to the poster of this video, the band later became Black Sugar!
Far Fen group was formed in 1969 by Victor “Coco”Salazar and Miguel “Chino”Figueroa, very talented musicians that later triggered much discussion. Among the prominent members of Far Fen was the percussionist “Challe” Silva. Precisely is the son of “Challe” Silva who has been kind enough to send me your valuable photographic documents that illustrate this audio. According to what George Bonilla, the group’s name derives from the Farfisa organ and Fender amplifiers owned by that group. Far Fen later become Black Sugar, big words, but that’s another story.
Note: The topic title is tentative, I have found that between the little information that exists, is given different names to this song.
The Del-Rays perform Ike and Tina Turner’s I Idolize You
The Del-Rays are one of my favorite new bands thanks to the wonders of the internets, and of course, thanks to the most awesome youtuber alepdlc for capturing a bunch of their performances. The band includes Mike Deller, the Farfisist from the Budos Band and a few other members of the Daptone Records family and the fantastic Alba Ponce de Leon. I look forward to hearing more from The Del-Rays.
Pink Floyd Interstellar Overdrive
When was the last time there was 12 people at a Pink Floyd show? Yeah, probably when this video right here was filmed. The sound is ok, but the editing is spectacular! There’s even some wacky British dude talking about them at the end of the clip. He looks kind of familiar…
