All that polyester on stage, it's amazing they didn't burst into flames. Love Flaco!

[@kennybluet5527]

That is funny.

[@mireilledischer3380]

They were called “safari suits” and I believe polyester was fabric of choice. Pretty sure James Bond had one back then !

Lovd you Flaco

[@fotioskatsoulis99]

The accordion really gives the continental element like it’s from European style rather than Latin American

When it comes to the accordion,Flaco dont flacoround!

[@dianekrstulovich1582]

WOW! LYRICS! A treat in EVERY way! Gracias!

[@aloisemason3972]

Phenomenal..Ry Cooder Flaco...born for the stage..never forgotten..still great in 2022..

[@SouthernAceCrafts]

I grew up in San Antonio. Seen Flaco many times throughout my childhood. Many times. One night, my brothers and I woke to "Las Mananitas" a couple of houses down the block. There was Flaco, doing a mother's day seranade for somebody's mom. That was a long time ago and I haven't been back there since my late teens. Gonna have to take a trip to good ol' San Antonio one of these days.

[@adrianrr1317]

That's wild! Was he serenading someone for their birthday?

[@francescastillo8243]

@@adrianrr1317 : No, it was for Mother's Day on this occasion, but the song can also be for birthdays.

[@frankvanmeter3408]

I had the honer of getting a hug from Flaco in santa cruz ca.

[@sonjalewis3047]

Flaco….is a baby bumblebee, the skylark, the aerial hummingbird of the accordion. The Norteño genre gave birth to accordionistas that leave other accordion styles dead in the mud. Flaco’s riffs sparkle, and his improvs zip in and are gone too fast to get stuck on. Flaco Jimenez & accordion might be the best frolic of our lifetimes!

[@kaisercastiel9703]

i know it's pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new movies online?

[@matthiasalonso837]

@Kaiser Castiel try FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@jaimegarcia7261]

I always remember that song, La Bamba. And i still remember the original song before it became Rock N' Roll. Ritchie Valens should of been the king of rock n' roll !!!!

[@katherinea.rodgers8366]

Ritchie lived down the street from me in Pacoima. He was very sweet and so shy.

[@richardsandoval5185]

Thank you Biamaku, you post so many nuggets!

Hola hola, Denmark🇩🇰 loves ❤️Flaco🪗👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾

[@Boviss1Bovis]

I met Flaco once, in a bar in Leith (Edinburgh ) on a Saturday night. I'd been a huge fan of his work with RC. There was a three piece band playing, a girl fiddle player who was on fire. And he is just sipping his cerveza. I said..... Ummm Mr Jiminez? And he said... Yes. I said I'm a big fan. He said - are you coming to the show? I said Ummmm I dunno! ( I didn't know there was one) and he shook my hand and turned his attention back to the musicians who were starting up again. And I walked away. And that was it. When I was really young, maybe fifteen, I was in a bar ( I was a big kid) and the session man I was having a pint with said to me - there's the great Roy Buchanan, he's in here every night. And there's this scruffy guy with a beard propping up the bar, he's wearing a coat and looks completely haunted/ drunk. I assumed later, when I heard that he had died that he was just another Scottish musician who poured his life into a whisky bottle. I was Amazed to discover that he was American ( much later). He was probably in Edinburgh on some personal/ holiday time - lord knows. But he was in Sandy Bells Bar in Edinburgh - and I went there to hear the music at weekends - every time I got there. I didn't know he was a musical genius - and Robbie Robertsons mentor. Anyways. I've remembered saying hello to Flaco for 30 years. Strange to think.

[@Boviss1Bovis]

And not saying hello to Roy B.

[@kirkjohnwiggle]

Roy Buchanan had his days in the bright lights and his time was too short possibly. RC & Flaco can't be beat either. Was this an Austin City Limits show, does anyone know?

[@davidjanson9900]

hi my bar story was set in manchester uk in the early eighties at the band on the wall we arrived early and there was only one other guy at the bar i said hello ,sat down for a chat with my friend, then about an hour later the mc said would you welcome bert jansch to the stage,i had never seen his face but knew his records well enough to buy a ticket ,you know who got up.

[@JMDinOKC]

Este video fue grabado probablemente en 1976 o 1977. Reconozco el bajista. Era de baja estatura y de aspecto "funny-looking." He looked more like he belonged with ZZ Top than in Ry Cooder's band. Él y Flaco era parte de la banda que acompañó a Cooder en su gira con el "Chicken Skin Revue." Esta fue la fuente del live album de Cooder "Showtime." I saw them at The Roxy in L.A. in 1978 or 1979. Esa fue mi introducción a la música de conjunto.
