Sumario:The German musician Kurt Schindler (1887-1935) was also a famous photographer who worked for several newspapers in Spain and in the United States. He was commissioned by Columbia University (NY) and several Spanish research institutions in 1920 to do a fieldwork on popular folksongs in all over the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) until his earlier death in the 30s. He solved some problems taking white and black photos on Spanish dances with his earlier experience on Russian fieldworks before the I World War. His photographic legacy has still not been catalogued completely. A further research on this photo collection is needed in order to show, to the scientific community, the unique of his ethnographic recollection.
