Al Andalus: Musique Arabo-andalouse

Atrium Musicae Madrid, Gregorio Paniagua

'In recreating this music which dominated Granada from the 8th Century until 1592, we steeped ourselves in the atmosphere that still reigns in the Alcazar, the Alhambra, and the mosque of Cordoba. For us it evokes the love of life, the taste for beauty that pervaded Arab-Andalusian everyday life'. This recoridng from October 1976, which has never left the catalogue, transports us into the world of nawbas, the highly elaborate musical sequences typical of Al-Andalus.
