Last night I played at the Rock on the Pier concert in Finikounda, an annual fundraiser for the medical clinic, which well attended by local villagers and expat residents.
My Australian friend Ash (guitar) and English friend (Steve), who both live here, were the headliners, but I contributed a few tunes on the flute—a tough competition with an electric guitar and a 1500-watt PA.
It was also a time to mark the new season. Before the show started, the kids jumped over a bonfire on the beach—made from the dried Easter garlands—for good luck. Maybe the only country on earth where you incinerate children for good luck.
Three 60-something rockers, plied with tequila by 800 people who kept buying drinks for the band. I'll post the music videos after I figure out how to edit them down.
Two clips from Rock on the Pier ("Oye Coma Va" and "Low Rider"). Didn't have a pickup for the flute, just a mic.
