Spanish
Medieval Music
with
a multicultural flavor
When after
centuries of warfare, the
Catholic monarchs Ferdinand & Isabela
ejected the Arabs (Moors), the Jews, Gypsies and other "foreign" elements
from Spanish lands, a unique environment of cooperation between vastly
differing cultures was forever altered, making way for the Spanish Inquisition
and total Christian hegemony in the Iberian peninsula. Music of these cultures
was exported across North Africa and right around the Mediterranean, where
it has been preserved in manuscript and in folk cultures to this day. |
