The making of Radio Jarocho video (all photos by Enrique González)













Last Tuesday we recorded our first two videos, for Colás and Siquisirí. It was an interesting learning experience. Marvelous Josh Weinstein shot both videos and we all had fun doing it. We shot Colás on the roof of our good friend Enrique González (who also took all these great photographs) and Siquisirí we did on Minetta Street, in the West Village. After having had rain in NY almost every day for the last month, we were surprised and delighted that the weather was so incredible on the day of the shoot. Rain would have ruined everything!

It is not easy to shoot a video: the pressure of the camera, having to repeat the song over and over, and dealing with curious people on the street, made us appreciate how much work and concentration we have to put on every single thing that we do as a band. We will let our fans know as soon as the video is ready. In the meantime, let's keep on fandangueando and get ready to celebrate at the cd-release party tonight!
