“Dreams of Al-Andalus” invites us to put an end to the lack of knowledge about the cultural richness that Al-Andalus represented for the music of the West and to serve as an example of this art, which is permanently linked to the life, loves and emotions that music brings to both individuals and society as a whole. Its preservation is nearly a miracle, and its study and recovery have been a gift to the musical heritage of the West and mankind in general. When they were expelled from Spain in 1609, this whole musical treasure traveled little by little to the Maghreb, where it survives today.
The music of Al-Andalus which developed in the Taifa Kingdoms came to an end in Granada’s Nasrid era (1231-1492), reaching its decadence and demise in Al-Andalus with the Moriscos (1492-1609). This music has been decisive in the development of music in both the East and the West, and the marks it has left behind still exist today. Spanish-Muslim music provides us with an example of cultural symbiosis bearing rich fruits, mixing Muslim and Christian achievements within the Andalusian melting pot over more than seven centuries.
