EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment in time when the Cossiers of Montuiri were performing their traditional Majorcan dances. These vibrant dancers, adorned in elaborate costumes, showcase the rich customs and folklore of the Balearic Islands. The image reminds us that these unique Cossiers had been an integral part of certain villages' history but had disappeared over time. However, their spirit was not lost as they found new life in other communities who revived this cherished tradition. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported to a bygone era where music filled the air and passacaglias echoed through streets lined with curious onlookers. The personages depicted here exude pride and dedication towards preserving their cultural heritage. Religious feasts provided a platform for these Cossiers to display their artistry and entertain locals with popular songs intertwined with rhythmic movements. This mesmerizing spectacle became synonymous with celebrations in Majorca. Photographer Santiago Ortega beautifully captures this horizontal composition, allowing us to appreciate every detail of this Mediterranean culture's essence. With each glance at this historic photograph, one can't help but feel connected to Majorca's roots and traditions that have stood the test of time. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past as they remind us of our shared humanity and inspire future generations to preserve our diverse heritage for years to come.
