Racist Spaniarrds deny the arabic influence in their country, but its all over. You'd have to blind not to see it

[flamenco1609]

viva la musica mediterranea...tanto la del sur como la del norte han influido las unas en las otras...las personas que hablan de nacinalidades y regionalismos eschuchando estas preciosas melodias sobran aqui..un respeto alos grandes maestros que han cantado con artistas de difrntes culturas con respeto y amor

@MiddleEasternBeauti Duh, I said they are not part of the arab world. Spain is in Europe, and has nothing to do with the Arab world. And Spaniards are NOT mixed with arabs! Look at the ethnic diversity of the country. I dare you to find similarities with Asturian culture for example and arab culture. Andalusia has the most influences, that's about it. You've not spent much or any time traveling around Spain. How could you know?

[MiddleEasternBeauti]

@thekingofmoney2000 Yes its in andalusia but do you have any idea that the arabs took almost ALL spain.So most of spainish has some element of arabic influence.And lol,if spaniards admit that there country has a mixture of arabic culture and spaniards are mixed with arabs from ancient times DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE PART of the arab world.Spain is in europe,and its culture is a mix of arabic and other european culture.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@MiddleEasternBeauti And, most importantly Spain does not want to be part of the Arab world and feels no connection to it, that's most important! It's what the people of the country think that matters.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@MiddleEasternBeauti Look, there are elements of Arabic culture in Andalusia, not all of Spain. Also Spanish culture has evolved into it's own unique style, it's not the same as arabic culture. Saying Spanish culture is like Arabic culture is like saying Japanese culture is like Chinese culture, just because there are some similarities, but both are more different than they are alike.

[MiddleEasternBeauti]

@thekingofmoney2000 Spain's history is mixture of all different people.But i have to admit the arabic one is much more heavily mixed.I mean arabs had spain for almost a thousand years.Also,many spaniards do deny the moors.I have met many who deny the moors and deny they come from a mixed history.

[MiddleEasternBeauti]

@thekingofmoney2000 You must be somewhat blind....There are many southern europeans who look like northern middle eastern people.Oh and keep in mind cheb khaled is probably not even a pure arab but a arab who is mixed with african or a berber mixed with african.Arabs dont look like cheb khaled.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@Topithug Well, they don't look like arabs either, they look just like most other southern Europeans and in some cases like northern europeans. It doesn't matter either way, it's only one part of Spain's history. It's more complex and diverse than just the muslim influences. I don't think most Spanish people deny the past, but we also know that there is more to our history than just the Moorish period.

[Topithug]

@thekingofmoney2000 your dispute was with the statement that spanish people look like arabs, I don't challenge you on this however this is not the point being made. The point is arab influence on spanish culture, architecture, music etc is evidently clear. Just how french influence on north africa is clear. I don't dispute any of what you just said, simply making the point that you've got the wrong end of the stick.

[thekingofmoney2000]

@Topithug So? Spain also ruled part Morocco for a period of time and still controls Melilla and Ceuta. France also had control of Morocco. Does that make Moroccan people French? No! So why are you so worried about the past? Not all of Spain was ruled by the Moors, go to northern Spain and see the celtic influences music. It's totally different from the culture of southern spain, and definitely Morocco.
