The Hassle-free Guide to Summer FestivalsIt’s summer time and the Spanish festival season is in fullswing. Whether you’re heading north to San Fermín, east toBenicàssim or south to Andalucía, don’t forget to take basicprecautions.

Even though you’re travelling within Spain, it’s still importantto get travel insurance and check what it covers. If you have aSpanish health card, take it with you so that you can accesshealthcare in other provinces. Let friends and family knowwhere you’re going and how they can contact you.When you arrive at the festival, make sure you:1. Keep your valuables in a safe place. It’s also agood idea to keep a cash card and some cashstored separately just in case.

2. Carry a photocopy of your passport with youand leave the original locked away.3. Be extra vigilant in large crowds wherepickpockets are likely to be at work.4. Stay safe and look out for your friends. Hot weatherand alcohol or drug use can leave people in avulnerable state.

After the festival is over, bear in mind you will betired, which means that you can easily let your guard

down and give a thief an opportunity to act. Avoid thestress and confusion of a rush to catch your bus,train or plane by anticipating that public transportwill be busy and allowing plenty of time.Remember, no matter where you arein Spain, if you have an emergencyyou can call the Consulate on (0034) 902 109 356.

Hurdles: A clean jump and then a burst of acceleration on landing—leaping the barrier on theMetro will also save you at least ��50 each month. However, be careful this doesn’t turn into ashort sprint followed by a wrestling bout with uniformed officials.

Rhythmic Gymnastics—Ribbon: By practising the elaborate, exaggerated movements andthrowing yourself around the room, waving your coloured ribbon high and low, you mightachieve the impossible... and attract the barman’s attention.

Cycling: If you can make it around Madrid at rush-hour on a bicycle and survive, you deserve amedal.

Weightlifting/Shot Put: Help any small schoolchild when they try to lift their backpack fromthe floor. If you manage to get the bag as far as your shoulder, the “shot put” option is to hurlit over the school fence to save the child struggling through the school gate with it.

Fencing: The only honourable way to settle differences with your Spanish father-in-law. (Youthink I’m not good enough for your daughter, señor? On guard!)

Rowing: The lake in the Retiro may not seem like much of a rowing option, but watch heads turn as you sit in your boat, oars flap-ping rapidly, as a friend wearing a baseball cap and holding a loud hailer screams instructions about pace and stroke-rate.

Marathon: Madrid offers multiple marathon-length running tracks, with prime examples being the Metro line interchanges at Diegode Leon, Cuatro Caminos and Nuevos Ministerios. Shouldn’t there be volunteers giving out water along these tunnels?

Gymnastics: back flips, half twist or somersault—any combination of movements may be needed to get past the passenger next toyou when you’re trapped in a window seat on the bus.

Long jump: The Metro train doors are just about to close…

100 metres: It’s a beautiful evening in Plaza Santa Ana. Suddenly, you see a free table on one of the café terraces. You see a fewother people have noticed it too. Go go go!

Small and inti-mate, it brings back the flavour of traditional markets where you could buy spices and teas,by weight, from distant lands. The owner, Yuli, an expert in the spice field, sells around 70 dif-ferent spices: classic or exotic, sweet, bitter or spicy. Examples include saffron, cinnamon,pepper, ginger, curry, and chimi-churri, as well as a selection of aromatic herbs, imported fromplaces like China, India, France and Iran. To season your dishes, Yuli also stocks a very origi-nal line of several different salts, from aromatic to subtle mixes, with ingredients like boletus,herbs, pepper or even rose petals! Remember that if — unlikely as it may be — there’s noth-ing that suits your taste, you can make a personal request, which will be prepared just for you.The shop’s ecological teas come from many different countries too. In addition to the regularrooibos, green or white tea, you’ll find the classic English breakfast and Moroccan, chai

masala or Pakistani black tea—more than 80 varieties in total. And in case you need anything else to enjoy with your “cuppa”, SpicyYuli has a selection of biscuits and appetising sweets, plus recipe books to learn about the world of spices. Yuli gives classes too,should you wish to add a little sparkle to your meals!

FFaaiirryy TTaalleessPride and Prejudice

Pride! A time to get together, let our flame shinebright and be our fabulous over-the-top selves. A timewhen Madrid turns into a flamboyant ray of diversity;where colours, sizes and shapes don’t matter anymore(as long as you’re drunk enough). A time for whichmost of us have been preparing for months by carefullyshopping for the right outfit, by going to the gym, train-ing hard in order to arouse the crowd with our sixpacks and incredible biceps, but also a time for the moreromantic ones to find their future husband in an endlesssea of possibilities.

But Pride remains, and has always been, quite a con-flicted time for me. It reminds me that the battle is notwon; that my kind is being abused, imprisoned, and tor-tured in most of the world. All the while, here, we dancewhen we should be marching silently and demandingequal rights for all. I know I’m pissing on the paradebut the sourness of shame I taste in my Gin & Tonics isoverwhelming.

So I usually prefer to skip town and go hide in themountains with a good book. Needless to say all myfriends are appalled by my behaviour. But good friendsbeing good friends, they always think they know better.And mine thought that it was time to take action, that itwas time for an intervention! They gathered in my liv-ing room, sat me down and gave me a good talking to.

They had each prepared a letter in which they raisedconcerns about my mental and sexual health before con-cluding that it was out of my hands and that I would getlaid whether I wanted to or not. They proclaimed theyfeared I would end up a bitter jaded pensioner mumblingabout the unfairness of life if something wasn’t donesoon. They also informed me that they had cancelled mytrain tickets as well as my hotel reservation, they’dthrown out my old Tees and bought me wife-beatersinstead, and they’d removed all my books from mybookcase and filled my fridge with booze and poppers.They even handed me an iPhone on which they haddownloaded the latest hook-up app and created me aprofile. It was Christmas or so they claimed. I wanted toburrow myself away and never come out again.

Apparently, I was to start rubbing myself against thenaked hunks cramming the streets, and binge-drinkmyself into a coma—a coma I should preferably spend inthe arm of another comatose queen who, on waking upthe next morning, would most probably refer to me as adrunken mistake (but they left that part out). Thisshould be done repeatedly and without moderation. I wasalso to take off my shirt as often as possible, pinch mynipples and snog whomever they would shove my way.

I tried to run; the door was locked.I tried to talk sense into them; they handed me a

cocktail.I was cornered. I had no escape route.

As I write these lines, Pride is just about to start, aweek of festivities where gin and tonics replace waterand during which sex is mandatory.

I’m scared… I’m so scared… I know that oblivionawaits me…

To be continued next month in “The Night Before…”

Good luck Olympians, and don’t forget that the gold medalists will win the Madrid Olympics’ grand prize: a large jamón and a year’ssupply of cocido! (We don’t recommend taking exercise after consuming a helping of the latter.)


eads are turning and glances are beingcast. One expects people clad in shorts,T-shirts and baseball caps at the gates ofthe Retiro on a hot afternoon, so it’s easyto understand the curiosity in glimpsingthree men and three women lookingdecidedly like Indian princes andprincesses. The girls’ spectacular neck-laces and bangles and the intricatesequin designs on the men’s jackets catch

the sun, sprinkling its light across the park entrance.The colours of their costumes are dazzling and lavish—purple, green and royal blue for the beautiful saris ofthe women; an elegant burgundy, cream and gold for thejackets and trousers of the men. Their presence, howev-er, is not about palaces and thrones, but rather stagesand songs. Bollywood has come to Madrid.

The arrival in the Retiro presents a photo opportuni-ty, and also the chance to speak to Salomé Masala, apioneer in providing regular Bollywood dance classes inMadrid and a director of the city’s Club Masala, aBollywood dance school that organises many otheractivities in relation to Indian culture and lifestyle. “Atfirst, there were no schools or classes, and not manypeople knew about Bollywood,” says Salomé, her strik-ing royal blue sari drawing much attention, “but nowwe have our own centre that’s been open for five years,and we have dance students from countries includingSpain and France, and even three or four from India.”

The stage is setAs a choreographer and director, Salomé has two pro-ductions, Sucedió en India (It Happened in India) andAladino en Bollywood (Aladdin in Bollywood), thattake place this month as part of the Veranos de laVilla festival. “Sucedió en India was established lastyear, but we’ve revised it, with new songs and actors.It’s set in different cities in India and so the audiencewill experience dances from different regions of thecountry,” explains Salomé. The story is the foundationof many Bollywood films—boy meets girl, but theirlove is forbidden. In this case, it’s a poor fruit sellerwho falls for a girl of much higher standing in society,meaning that they can’t be together, and can’t marry.

It’s a tale about the struggle for true love. “Each dance has a significance for the lovers’ story,”

continues Salomé, “whether it’s connected to the Holi[Spring Festival], the Diwali [Festival of Lights], orthe Baishaki [Harvest Festival].” As she speaks, chil-dren in the Retiro are drawn to her and her partners’dresses, attracted by the colours and extravagance.Her image seems to meet their preconceptions of afairy-tale princess, so much so that one youngster

gives her a spontaneous hug. “Ooh! Hello!” gigglesSalomé, more than a little surprised. Her male col-leagues—“princes” Issah Rezgui, Chiragi Chugani andRaul Sanchez—are themselves stars of the shows, andfind the attention the girls receive amusing. DancersMartha Mirage, in green, and Susana Rodríguez, incerise, make up the “princess” consortium.

Dress to impressSalomé is keen to impart finer details about the clothing.“There are more than 250 costumes for the shows. Webuy them in India, but sometimes add our own flourish-es, sewing by hand in Madrid. Each region has its owncostumes and dances. For example, if we’re going to do asong from Punjab then we’d use a Punjab costume—per-haps three-piece Punjabi suits, and turbans. The songschoose the colours. If it’s a joyful song, then somethingexciting like red and yellow, but if it’s a slow song, thenperhaps something more elegant, like maroon.”

The jewellery is bought in India too. The women’snecklaces and earrings are stunning and exquisitedesigns, enhanced by similar pieces resting enchanti-ngly on the forehead. The most noticeable feature,however, is the nose piercing, in the form of a ring,from which dangle further gleaming stones, along witha fine golden chain that runs across the side of the faceto the hair. If the swirling gold, silver, diamonds,rubies and sapphires were real, they would be morethan sufficient to ease Spain’s economic woes.

In genie-ous!The second Bollywood production for Veranos de laVilla, Aladino en Bollywood, has been created bySalomé in less than three months. It’s been an incredi-bly intense period, but the outcome has proved morethan rewarding. “I loved the idea of everyone havingthe story in their head about Aladdin, but then trans-forming it with a Bollywood flavour,” she grins. “Thedance company is professional, there are plenty of prac-tices and rehearsals, and they’ve participated in events

like HoliMadrid and other open air performances.” Inthe adaptation, Aladdin is a humble worker in theBollywood film studios, who wants to be a Bollywoodstar, and who falls in love with a beautiful actress. Thediscovery of a dust-covered lamp opens the gates to hisdreams. “It’s more modern, with a lot of new Bollywoodhits, and dance fusion,” enthuses Salomé.

The Bollywood programme is a first, not only forVeranos de la Villa, but also for Spain. “I put a propos-al to the theatre, and they were very interestedbecause it had never been done. Veranos de la Villahad focused on oriental or Indian folklore in the past,but never anything official about Bollywood. I hopemadrileños are looking forward to what’s going to hap-pen, and to what they have the chance to see. Spec-tators have always been really happy with the festi-vals we’ve done, and it’s like there’s a Bollywood fever.Everyone wants Bollywood—to dance Bollywood, toknow about Bollywood or to see Bollywood films.There’s a huge demand.”

The Teatro Sanpol, near Príncipe Pío metro, is host-ing the shows (see full details below). The Englishexpression “there’s no need to make a song and danceabout it” clearly falls by the wayside here. WithBollywood, there’s every reason to make a song anddance about it—joyful, energetic, spectacular ones. Andwill the love-torn heroes and heroines live happily everafter? More importantly, if they didn’t, would you?

h


t’s a Thursday evening and, true to form, nonight in Madrid is ever ordinary. Arriving atthe Hipódromo de la Zarzuela just after 9pmseems a late hour to go to the races; however,organisers are busy, food stalls are beginningto heat their pans, and television crews arepriming their cameras. The venue is hosting,

in addition to five races, the second Festival delSombrero (Hat Festival). The event will continue dur-ing the following Sunday meeting, when the GranPremio, Madrid’s largest race of the season, takesplace, but for the moment there is a patio which drawsthe attention of inquisitive guests. It’s clear that theatmosphere is already building; relaxed, but with anair of sophistication and anticipation.

The Festival del Sombrero is the realisation of adream created by a team of industry professionals, onthe initiative of the Asociación de Sombrereros deEspaña (Millinery Association of Spain) to form amulti-sector event in a welcoming space. This year, inaddition to the hats by designer brands Vintage Wavesand Charo Agruña, the focus is on hair, make-up andwine, with assistance from Torres Wines, CienporcienComunicación, L’Oreal, and even Dessange Paris, mak-ing sure that your cheveux looks as good as your cha-peau.

Vintage Waves“Fashion here takesa little time to catchup,” says EvaSanchez, the secre-tary of the MillineryAssociation and alsothe co-founder, withRoberto Quagliata,of Vintage Waves.She wears an ele-gant black dress, with impeccable hair and make up.“This event will hopefully educate people on the styleof hats that are available and for which occasions.”Eva is extremely passionate about her cause and con-tinues to explain how “fascinators, for example, arerare here, probably because not too many people aresure how to wear them; I want to show how versatilethey can be.”

Using the timing of Royal Ascot to pump up aware-

ness, she recalls, “I love the passion and grandeur ofAscot and it would be great if the Spanish public couldfeel that energy. This Festival, however, is its ownevent, but we can still learn from Ascot to appreciatehow wonderful the fashion and style aspect of horseracing can be.”

Eva first met her partner Roberto whilst both werestudying millinery at London’s St Martins College ofArt and Design. Vintage Waves was born in 2006, andafter their first successful collection at Spitalfieldsmarket, the company has gone from strength tostrength. They decided to relocate to Spain in 2008, tolaunch the exciting brand to the Spanish fashionistas.Since then, they have firmly placed a stamp on thefashion map. With great attention to detail, theirhandmade, unique and edgy designs stand out fromthe crowd.

A perfect marriage“The Festival delSombrero is looking tocreate a marriagebetween different gen-res to enhance thesenses—fashion, style,music and great wine,”adds Roberto, “particu-larly with the combi-nation of wines andhats—to educate peo-ple about the hats towear for differentoccasions, and whichwine should accompa-ny the situation, in theform of a day or night‘dress code’, if youlike.”

It is Roberto’s feeling that we don’t really make theeffort to dress up as we did in the past. “If we look tothe 1920s through to the 50s, it was an everyday eventfor every man to wear a shirt with a tie; that just does-n’t happen now and it’s a shame. People should takepride and learn to enjoy dressing up again.”

Raising glassesA jazz band strikes up, and glasses of selected Spanishfine wines are handed out. There are individual standseach with a different hat and a bottle of wine, with full

explanations about both, andstrange as it may seem, thelinks between the two sectorsbecome clear.

Nacho Rodriguez Tejedor, ofpatron Torres Wines, providesfurther information. “The aim isto reconnect the associationbetween culture and style. TheFestival should appeal to all thesenses.” It is Nacho’s opinionthat in Spain people areindulging less in fine wines andopting instead for beers, spiritsor soft drinks. He wants toreignite the enthusiasm for thecraftsmanship, culture and

regional passion that the production of fine wine holds.“Wine is tied into different life events,” he says, andthe aim of the Torres brand is “to help people under-stand which wines to link with each event and envi-ronment.”

A last tasteThe cool evening temperature, five exciting races, andthe feeling of being free of the city stresses all add tothe charm of the Hipódromo. The enjoyment wouldcontinue at the Sunday meeting, with designers usingstatic models to present their most creative anddynamic pieces. A horse called Karluv Most would winthe Gran Premio, but for tonight a small flutter onPorque no te callas (Why don’t you shut up) proves tobe a winning bet and rounds off the night perfectly—with a return of �2.

Diana Navarro Flamenco Warner

By embracing copla and merging influencesfrom pop, Diana Navarro joined a new wave offlamenco-inspired artists seeking to re-inventthe genre, bagging a Latin Grammy nominationfor her 2005 début, No te olvides de mi. Herlatest, Flamenco, sees the Málaga-born singerturn flamenco purist. Navarro is clearly well-schooled in flamenco vocal techniques by theway she employs sudden changes in dynamicsto indicate disturbed and heightened emotion-al states, as well as soaring trills and melisma,

when a single syllable of text lasts several notes. With the inclusion ofstyles such as saetna (a religious song typically heard in Holy Week) andguajira (originally Cuban country music), she demonstrates flamenco’sbroad reach and rich history, while her performances, ably accompanied byguitar, convey an appropriate rural ambience. “Deja que te mire” is anexcellent example of the festive cantiña style, a bold and dramaticallywrought vocal with guitar playing in unison, and there are faithful renditionsand adept performances throughout. Though it’s only when the guitar pullsback, as in opener “En la cabaña que habito”, that the vocals hint at some-thing more individualised—a style that’s confidential and simmering withintimacy. This could be the way forward for Navarro, for while Flamenco is acapable and valid study in the form, more innovation and less emulation areneeded for her to be considered an important flamenco artist.

Rod E Musselman Lost Love SongsMondegreen Records

Madrid-based Rod E Musselman makes hissolo debut with this album of contemporaryfolk songs, produced by Paolo Greco. Raised inFlorida, where he learned to play guitar, fusingstyles of jazz, blues, folk and Latin,Musselman’s love of flamenco bought him tothe Spanish peninsula in the late 1980s, andhe has resided in Madrid since 1990. In LostLove Songs, the tracks deal with the loss oflove through a variety of causes—separation

and divorce in “She Was Once Mine” and “You Were My Life”, the death ofloved ones with “The Telephone Says that No-one’s Home”, and “Just aLittle Walk” tells the story of a father, suffering from Alzheimer’s, and hisstruggle with his son’s quest to find him and bring him home. The albumisn’t going to break any ground, but it’s full of bluesy folksy guitars, fiddleand harmonicas, and gravelly vocals, making it an enthralling and at timeshypnotic listen, especially the haunting “Jack-in-the-Box”, probablyMusselman’s strongest track. “This Train”, a rousing and enjoyable coverof a traditional gospel song, picks the pace up and makes one think itwould be good to catch a live show. Musselman is in the process of com-pleting two more recording projects, with live dates in Madrid hopefullyscheduled for the summer. (Review by Laura Stephens.)

Earth, Wind andFireSat, 7 July, Teatro Circo Price,Ronda de Atocha, 35 (Metro:Embajadores). Tel: 91 527 98 65.www.teatrocircoprice.es

Kings and Queens of funk,soul and disco (yes, allthree), Earth, Wind and Firehave been getting people onto the dance floor since 1969. They areacknowledged for changing the sound of black pop in the 1970s,blending soul, funk, R&B, gospel and African styles in a smooth fas-hion. During the second half of the seventies, they released a seriesof records that connected music with inspiring messages of racialpride, African empowerment and spiritual harmony. Over the courseof the years, Earth, Wind and Fire have won a cabinet-full of presti-gious music awards and have become known for their elaboratestage performances and falsetto/tenor contrasts. Led by VerdineWhite, Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson, this year the group preparedfor a new album release with the single, “Guiding Lights” which is assoulful as any of their previous recordings.

We Are AugustinesThurs, 12 July, Sala el Sol,C/Jardines, 3 (Metro: Gran Vía).Tel: 91 532 64 90.www.elsolmad.com

Brooklyn’s We AreAugustines have gonethrough a lot to produce their current music output. The indierockers formed in 2010 and went from being a duo to a trio lastyear before the release of their first album Rise Ye SunkenShips, the music on which is extremely emotive. The band havestated that it tells the story of singer Billy McCarthy’s brother,who suffered from mental health problems and sadly took hisown life a few years ago. Throughout the album, the songs’poignant feeling hangs on the content and subject. The piecesare either quite heated and dark or a mix of more triumphantinstrumentals and lyrics. Before the gig, check out last year’ssingle and video, “Chapel Song”, and get a feel for the niftyelectric guitars, drums and bass lines along with McCarthy’sdistinctive gravelly vocals that are present in all of the band’smusic, no matter what the topic may be.

CocoRosieWed, 18 July, Teatro Circo Price, Ronda de Atocha, 35 (Metro: Embajadores). Tel: 91 527 98 65. www.teatrocircoprice.es

Weird and wonderful CocoRosie come to Madrid to give us an insight into their ‘freak folk’ show, and we are infor a treat. The band is made up of sisters Sierra ‘Rosie’ and Bianca ‘Coco’ Casady who were both born and rai-sed in the USA but became estranged in their teens, later to be reunited in Paris to form their musical act thatcombines striking vocals, dreamy harps, electronic percussion and, surprisingly, children’s toys. Their first album,La Maison de Mon Reve, was released in spring 2004 and received critical acclaim among fellow fantasticallypeculiar musicians and music fans alike. This success has continued to grow and has allowed the girls to experi-ment, writing controversial lyrics, such as those on “By Your Side”, bending genres and blending Sierra’s opera-trained voice with Bianca’s sweet warble that echoes the early days of Björk. The aesthetics of past live perfor-mances have proven to be more Technicolor than the music itself, with fans painting their faces and really joiningthe spectacle. Don’t hesitate to choose your most bizarre outfit to experience the delights of CocoRosie.

Regina Spektor Mon, 9 July, Teatro Circo Price, Ronda de Atocha, 35 (Metro: Embajadores). Tel: 91 527 98 65.www.teatrocircoprice.es

Russian, sugary-yet-strong-voiced New Yorker Regina Spektor is a bit of a mixed bag.Coming from a very musical family, she was born in Moscow but emigrated to NYC when shewas young and attended a Jewish school in the Bronx. This mix of cultures is one of themain influences that can be heard in her music, which has been described as part of theanti-folk movement in New York. She often makes references to her Russian/Jewish heritage,sings in French and pronounces some words with a very strong New York accent, occasio-nally all in the same song—check out “Après Moi” for an example. This eclectic stylinggoes hand in hand with her lyrics which contain many literary allusions and are littered withglottal stops. Her songwriting is clever and touching, and her ability as a singer, pianist andguitarist is significant. She reaches the ears and hearts of her audience and is appreciatedfor her charming and sweet interaction during her live performances. Don’t miss your chan-ce to have a giggle with Regina on the 9th!

The KillingDavid Hewson MacMillan

“The book of the TVseries” isn’t always thebest indication of thequality of a novel, butin this case authorDavid Hewson, alreadya crime writer of somenote with a series ofthrillers to his name,has done an excellentjob in transferring theBAFTA award-winningprogramme to thepage. For those unfa-miliar with the TVseries, the story is set in Copenhagen, andfollows detective Sarah Lund on her last dayat work. However, her world changes when ayoung student is found raped and murderedin woods outside the city, and Lund has tolead the investigation along with fellow detec-tive Jan Meyer. Connections emerge betweenthe murder and local politicians, who are inthe middle of an election campaign. The styleof the novel may not be to everyone’s taste—it’s nearly all dialogue, with frequent one-linecomments. It’s also complex, with countlesstwists, turns and red herrings presented inthe pursuit of the true killer, but the charac-ters are developed in greater detail than theTV allowed, and the story has been expanded,even accommodating a variation on the origi-nal TV ending. Hewson went to Copenhagenand worked with the series script writerSoren Sveistrup in order to construct thenovel, and the result is a challenging andengrossing detective story that stands upextremely well in its own right. ■ TIM INKLING

A Fine LikenessSean McLachlan CreateSpace

Madrid/Missouri-based historyand travel writer SeanMcLachlan turns his hand tofiction, using his vast knowl-edge of the American Civil Warto pen this tale. Ostensibly awar story, and one in which thefiner details are clearly well-researched, A Fine Likeness isalso a story about the emotion-al toll that armed conflict hason individuals. Missouri, 1864:The Rawlins Rangers, a six-strong team of teenagedConfederate bushwhackersheaded by 19-year-old Jimmy Rawlins, head out to joinBloody Bill Anderson’s guerrilla group, while on theother side of the battlefield, Union militia captainRichard Addison is depressed about the state of hisrecruits, and about the death of his teenage son duringthe first years of the war. Jimmy starts to question hisallegiance to the Confederacy when he witnesses strangeand supernatural happenings in his group, and when hisand Addison’s paths cross, Addison is struck by Jimmy’slikeness to his dead son, and becomes obsessed with sav-ing him from the crazed Bloody Bill and his dark pur-suits. McLachlan draws his well-rounded characters con-vincingly, and cleverly steers clear of telling readerswhat to think. With a well-planned and fast-paced plotthat seamlessly swims between the two rival sides, thisis a perfect summer read. ■ LAURA STEPHENS

The story of the “maleta mexicana” (Mexican suitcase) is remarkable by itself. Rumours had cir-culated for years about the survival of negatives by three of the foremost photographers of theSpanish Civil War—Robert Capa, David Seymour “Chim” and Gerda Taro. In December 2007,three cardboard boxes (making up the “suitcase”) arrived from Mexico City at The InternationalCenter of Photography in New York. They contained the work of Capa, Seymour and Taro, madeup of 126 rolls of film, holding more than 4,500 negatives, mostly depicting key moments duringthe Spanish conflict of 1936-39. From Capa alone there were pictures of war-torn Madrid, theBattle of Teruel, the Battle of Rio Segre, and the mobilisation for the defence of Barcelona.Exactly how the negatives found their way from Europe to Mexico City is unknown (Capa isbelieved to have left all of the negatives in his Paris studio in 1939, as German forcesapproached the city), but many of the examples go on display at the Círculo de Bellas Artes thismonth. These include photos from the Aragon front, the battle of Brunete, and the confinementof the defeated in concentration camps in the south of France. UUnnttiill 3300 SSeepptt..

PiCKo’ the month

art■ BY JENNA EBERSOLE

nly last month researchers declared cave

paintings in 11 Spanish locations, including

the famous Altamira site near Santander, as

being Europe’s oldest dated art. The draw-

ings included hand stencils and animal fig-

ures, but one faint red dot was found to be more than

40,000 years old. Walls seem to have attracted us to

leave our impressions or make our mark since we first

struggled to stand on two feet.

Fast forward to today, and walking down almost any

street in Madrid you will still see names, phrases and

images everywhere your gaze wanders, filling any vertical

space big or small. Have you ever wondered how street

art came to be such a constant and familiar form in the

world’s cities, especially our own Spanish capital? It’s a

longer and broader story than you may have anticipated.

Walls ofthe worldAlmost any-

where in the

world markings

left by civilisa-

tions long gone

can be found

etched into the

landscape, how-

ever to start at

the beginning

requires heading

Down Under.

The Aboriginal

people of

Australia pre-

serve the longest

surviving culture on earth. Their numerous and vivid cave

paintings tell stories of the Dream Time (the creation

story), animal rituals, family and battles.

Cross the seas and writing has been found on ancient

ruins in present day Syria, Jordan and Iraq dating from

the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. Closer to home,

etchings of images and scripture have been salvaged

from the ruins of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city in Italy

which was covered by the erupting Mount Vesuvius in

79AD. Evidence has also been found of writing and

depictions left by the Mayans in Central America, the

Ancient Greeks, and the Vikings of Scandinavia, leading

the way for all those who followed.

Tagging territoryModern day graffiti as we know it has a much shorter his-

tory. Erupting with the hip hop music and dance scene in

the United States in the late 1960s, it has spread world-

wide to cover all genres of music and culture, today

including punk and pop music, designer fashion and reli-

gion. The very first form of graffiti, known as ‘tagging’,

was not surprisingly a simple name which could be left to

mark one’s territory all around a city.

The first artist who appeared in New York in the

1960s was known as ‘Taki 183’, from 183rd street

Manhattan. He is said to have been a foot messenger

who began to tag his name on his routes around the city.

Tagging quickly developed and soon artists’ tags were

seen all over New York, frequently on trains, crisscrossing

the metropolis from borough to borough. It wasn’t always

simple writing, as in 1972 the first noted piece of artwork,

done by an artist known as ‘Super Kool 223’, appeared

with multicoloured shapes and letters, shadows and the

effect of clouds. Its complexity meant greater appreciation

of the work.

Paving the wayCrossing the seas to Europe

took a little longer. The street

art movement didn’t appear

publicly until the late 1970s,

following museum exhibitions

showcasing the New York

graffiti art. Punk Rock groups

who were creating street art

secretly in London became

more public and the move-

ment spread rapidly across

the continent.

In Madrid, we are fortu-

nate to have some of the

most spectacular art on our

doorstep, free for all to enjoy.

In the past Madrid has played

host to giant pavement chalk

murals bearing deceptive 3D

images and phrases printed

on the sides of buildings to the likes of “Madrid, te quiero

con colores” (Madrid, I love you with colours) and “La vida

podría ser de color rosa” (Life could be pink).

A few to viewMany pieces come and go with political and cultural fash-

ions or funded campaigns, but some are here for the long

haul. Starting on the banks of the Rio Manzanares at the

Rio Madrid project near Legazpi, there are multiple

murals splashed onto six storey buildings, including one

of a chain of men each pickpocketing one another. Just

up the hill in La Latina there is a huge mural depicting El

Rastro, the market that brings a swarm of people to the

surrounding streets every Sunday. Edging closer to Sol, in

Tirso de Molina on the front of a street book vendors’ stall

is an intense painting of a cowboy and his companions in

a distinctly Wild West style, whilst crossing to the other

side of the city near the Parque El Capricho, a lonely

cement wall has been covered with vibrant cartoons,

including one of a frog prince.

The few examples mentioned above are just the tip of

the iceberg. Too often we walk with our heads down, our

minds elsewhere, ignoring our surroundings, yet if you lift

your chin there’s a free art museum that is waiting in the

streets of Madrid. And if you know of spectacular exam-

ples, do let us know!

idden behind dark glasses, anunkempt beard and with a green ex-army jacket thrown over a grey T-shirtand black jeans, Lluis Albert Seguraarrives late, sporting a bottle of waterin his hand. I wonder if he has justwoken up. “Don’t worry about me,man,” he smiles, “this is my first inter-

view in English. People say I sound stoned, but real-ly this is how I sound when I speak the language.”

In fact, as the frontman for L.A.—a band Seguraset up seven years ago and named after his own ini-tials—he has had more than enough recent practiceto master his language skills. Having just releaseda new studio EP as well as completing a whistle-stop tour of festivals in Holland, the USA, Canada

and the UK, the five-piece pop-rock indie grouphave steadily risen to become one of the most talkedabout Spanish bands to break internationally.August will see L.A. debut at the Reading andLeeds festivals—the first Spanish band to do so inthirty years, since Barón Rojo in 1982.

Back to frontSegura, however, hasn’t always enjoyed such suc-cess. Prior to forming L.A., the singer was drummerfor The Green Cherries for nine years. So how hasthe transition been? “I think I’m at my best creativemoment right now. I was drumming and for me itwas a little frustrating because I was at home writ-ing songs but I couldn’t play them. Now, I can—live,

for a crowd. I remember my first show playing gui-tar and singing; I was sweating and it was weird,but now it’s very different. I’m between everything.Between not being a superstar but not an unknownsongwriter, and it’s comfortable.”

L.A.’s success is thanks to mixing the old withthe new and being comfortable with how the bandperform, says Segura. “I’ve been listening toAmerican and British bands all my life and I’venever bought an album of Spanish music. I’ve triedto sing in Spanish but I don’t like my voice or mymelodies. I’m just more drawn to English. I thinkthat’s the secret. You can come along with yourSpanish-singing band and say ‘Yeah, we’re notgonna change anything and just sing in Spanish’, oryou adapt, like we have. The important thing is

maintaining your roots. Having roots keeps yougrounded and that is very interesting for me rightnow. We have this classic rooting but always withan eye looking forward.”

Rolling through timeSLNT FLM is the new six-track EP by L.A.. Fusingrolling guitar riffs, full English lyrics and classicrock styling, Segura says that this was the essencethat he wanted to achieve. “My parents had a largevinyl collection so I’ve always listened to TheBeatles, The Kinks, Rolling Stones, and all thatkind of stuff. Now, I’m making music with the samesound. I think it’s quite vintage, because we record-ed it in Sound City, Los Angeles, which is a very old

studio, and our producer there was a super freak forall that stuff, and he took us to another level. Hedid a very good job with our music because thisalbum, my first with a major label, is more 90salternative rock.”

“The Letter” is the final track on the EP and is akind of sing-a-long, hold-your-lighter-up-to-the-air-and-wave-it-side-to-side anthem which Seguraacknowledges as his best. “Of course, I’m proud ofthe whole album but especially the final track. It’svery fresh. ‘The Letter’ came from an idea when Iwas playing in the studio. When we first startedrecording, we came in with the whole set of songs,but this one song in particular was made in the stu-dio. On the first day, I was playing on the guitarwhen the producer said ‘I like that’. It became thefirst song we recorded. The lyrics are probably thegreatest I’ve written because the structure and thestyle are kind of soul, with delayed guitars. I lovethe whole thing.”

Staying on trackKeeping on top of his game is Segura’s main priori-ty. “I’ve been buying independent American musicjust to know where I’m going. There’s a new bandevery minute and it’s so hard to keep up. A bandyou were listening to last week are out of fashionthe next. It just goes so fast!” he says, whilst click-ing his fingers to emphasise the point. “And we’rehere in Spain where it’s like Mars. But I’m listeningto a lot of old and new stuff, like new stereo andmono mixes from the Beatles, and I’m discoveringthings that I’ve never heard before. It’s like ‘Oh myGod, there’s a maraca here or a shaker there’.”

Having learnt the key ingredients about whatmakes timeless music, Segura has created a selec-tion of songs which is both classic and raw. A stylewhich is not only attracting attention in NorthAmerica and Europe but also south of the RioGrande where he is booked to play several shows inMexico. “I’m just a Spanish guy singing in Englishmaking that same kindof music that will remindpeople of the old times;making the music thatyou guys have been lis-tening to for a longtime—for decades,something that youalready know but witha new flavour. I mightsound stoned but thegirls love it!”
