About the Item

Flamenco dancers use facial expressions, hand movements and gestures to convey emotions. Their dress is dramatic and enhances these movements often with the sweep and swirl of the flamenco shawl or el Mantón – which elongates the body and its movements. Andalusian flamenco was born in the Gitano or Gypsy communities of southern Spain. It involves a combination of cante (song), baile (dance), and toque (the art of guitar playing). Flamenco transmits the deepest emotions of life and love from passion to anger and sadness; from joy to pain and fear. La pasión, la ira, la tristeza, la alegria, el dolor and el miedo through body language and facial expression. At its best the intensity of the music takes both performer and audience alike on an emotional journey in which they become one with the Duende or spirit of life. Every scintilla is invested in the song and the beat such that the world around them for a short interlude becomes meaningless. Jerez de la Frontera Andalucia Spain “Deep Song… is truly deep, deeper than all the wells and oceans of the world. It comes from the first sob and the first kiss,” Federico Garcia Lorca. James Sparshatt‘s black and white portraits are a search for a connection with a world of emotions. His photographs from the streets of Havana, the milongas of Buenos Aires, the jazz clubs of New Orleans and bars of Andalucia capture the spirit of music in populations wher it is the very lifeblood and expression of life. His fine art photographs are available as beautiful, traditional silver gelatin prints, as delicious palladium platinum prints produced by 31 Studio – The Platinum Print Room – recognised masters of this printing art form and in a larger format on archival Hahnemuhle rag paper. Each paper has been chosen for its outstanding quality to satisfy both discerning collectors and first time buyers looking for a beautiful image for their home.
