What happens

Fiesta is an Australian television series which aired in 1958 on ABC Television. Described as a "Latin-American dance and song programme", it was produced in Sydney, and kinescoped ("telerecorded") for broadcast in Melbourne. The series featured the Gino Hernandez Sextet, as well as singer Ron Fabri. Episodes were 30-minutes in duration, in black-and-white. It is not known if any of the episodes still exist, given the varied survival rates of early ABC programming. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
