El guitarrista

The mural was painted in an old Gypsy neighborhood, next to a Romanesque church from the 12th century, la iglesia de la Magdalena. The history and culture in this area runs deep. Christians, Jews and Muslims have all shaped the identity of old Tudela. According to El Mac "The wall faces a little plaza where each day families hang out, little kids play and old ladies keep the mosquito population in check with their flyswatters. The image I painted there was based on a photo I took of a Mexican guitar player in East LA, and it seemed perfectly appropriate considering the connections between Flamenco music and Mexican/Latin-American music".
