the flamenco roots from the moorish people. the moors was mixed of berbers and the arabs that was in north africa for hundreds of years before they went to spain. so they were more berberid to be exact. the moorish people came with islam not as arab. people missunderstand. if you are interresed in this stuff you can get books in the libary.
Wow! love the music, hate the politics. All of you with negative ethnic comments need to back off!....Enjoy the guitarist and his art.....Moorish Gypsy (a good old American girl with Spanish roots)! I am also a Middle Eastern performer/teacher witha an emphasis on Arab-Spanish Fuison.....
Spain is the crossover point between north african music in the south, and celtic music in the north, which dates from pre-roman times.
Certainly the myriad more eastern/minor sounds derive from myriad moorish/jewish/gypsy/african elements.
Being a musician myself, I also know that any good player will be influenced by anything they hear regardless of their cultural background, especially players who aren't bound to a bigoted audience. Flamenco draws from many sources, and forms its own sound.
is there a book or online resource containing sheet music for the morea advanced spanis/flamenco/moorish pieces? Or are they more commmonly taught by ear... at which i am very poor :P
the muslims ruled spain for 800 years... along with so many other academic and scientific achievements, arts, architecture and music was also bought to fruition... it aint hard to tell
yes, that's right - even with gypsies. the spanish people, like the turks, are a mixture of different races that came into the (in spain being gypsies, moors, jews, celts, romans, greeks and germanic people [visigoths]) and they r considered spanish because of assimilation into spanish culture and catholicism.
it's the mixture of different people that ruled and/or just settled down in spain (such as the gypsies) bringing their music styles that make the flamenco music beautiful.
you are absolutely fantastic!

well, yes there's a north african flavour right there. Flamenco is formed from a mixture of Celt & Moor.

The Turks were always Turks and never been mixed with different race. Correct your history knowledge.
