Arte del pueblo sin nombre/ Folk art from the faceless people





I met this men when walking around in Villarobledo,at a spanish Music Festival. I stopped and photographed him, and in return he sang an old soldier's song to me and told me how he made those baskets and what they are used for.

He told me that they are the baskets for Manchego cheese and that at the end of Spring he went out into the marshes to collect the materials.

He is 82 years old.
