Calistales

“Calistales" by zesar bahamonte in Fuentes de Andalucía.

Zesar presents a mural born directly from the voices of its people. Through informal encounters, online conversations, chats in bars, and personal testimonies, the artist began an open investigation that stemmed from the rural and traditional codes of the Sevillian countryside. However, an unexpected and vibrant narrative soon emerged: the town's musical memory, marked by Andalusian breakbeat and a generation of DJs who defined a unique scene in the nineties and early two-thousands.

This discovery becomes the heart of the mural, "Calistales" whose name alludes to the eucalyptus groves where the impromptu raves took place, forming part of the collective imagination of Fuentes de Andalucía. It is even said that, if combined, the town's vinyl record collections could constitute the most extensive archive of this genre in Andalusia.

This project, spearheaded by dipuse and curated by delimbo, travels to different towns in the province, connecting them with artists to create murals on various walls.
