FLAMENCO DANCERS HOLDING 10 MATCHBOXES

SPAIN - 1960s EA/ES/0001

This multi-pack of match boxes, held together by two dancers is another example of Spain’s flamenco-infused soul. This time a tourist souvenir to accompany a carton of 200 cigarettes, collected at duty-free on the return trip. The warm sound of the matches shaking in their boxes echoes the percussive stomps and scratches of flamenco heels on worn, wooden floors, while the combined fire of 500 matches seems to mirror the flaming spirit of the dance.
