Seville’s 2010 Bienal de Flamenco breaks the mold with a poster made by graffiti artists. Suso 33, Seleka, San and El Niño de las Pinturas, authors of the image of the festival’s sixteenth edition, gathered at Seville City hall on January 21st to reveal their work. Besides emphasizing that it is a “group effort”, they highlighted the values reflected by the picture: universality, miscegenation, spontaneity, evolution and social commitment. And the thing is that it’s a circle with lively colors split into four parts, one by author and one by flamenco category (cante, baile, toque), plus “the anthropological element”. They admit that in order to seek a common viewpoint, they were inspired by ‘Tiempo de Leyenda’, a documentary about the recording of Camarón de la Isla’s album ‘La Leyenda del Tiempo’. “We were really inspired by the work method, very improvised, but with clear aims. It was interesting to see how artists who were related and so different at the same time (Camarón, Kiko Veneno, the Amador brothers and Tomatito) faced that project”, the creators comment. Their strokes of spray paint will be the banner of the festival’s next edition which, with cante as its main theme, is to be held from September 15th to October 9th at different theaters in Seville.
