“I think few periods could be more sickening, more disillusioning or, finally, more nerve-racking than those evil days of street warfare.” = George Orwell, from his Book, Homage to Catalonia

Oh if only George Orwell were alive today to see the wonderful pictures of a Rockabilly festival held in Catalonia, province of Spain, every year, in Calafell. But times change and so do the streets of Catalonia. It’s a big difference from the Spanish Civil War of the late 1930s to the Rockabilly festival held every year in Calafell, Catalonia, Spain.
I first stumbled upon this photographer’s pictures by accident. Searching the internet for rockabilly images I stumbled upon a few pictures here and a few pictures there. When I started to piece together some of my favorites they all seemed similar in style, an incredible style that is. As I delved further I found they were indeed from the same photographer, Manel Lanzon of the Catalonia province of Spain.
