Flamenco in ‘Joel Meyerowitz. Europa 1966-1967’

During his travels around Europe between 1966 and 1967, Joel Meyerowitz spent six months in the city of Málaga, where he had the opportunity to get to know the world of flamenco in depth through his contact with the Escalona family and his regular visits to the Peña Juan Breva.

While staying there, the photographer took more than 8,500 pictures and recorded hours of flamenco sound. The Museo Picasso Málaga has accordingly scheduled four live flamenco sessions in the galleries hosting the temporary exhibition, in which the music can interact with Meyerowitz’s snapshots of the flamenco scene in 1960s Málaga.
