PASEAVASE EL REY MORO POR LA CIUDAD DE GRANADA
(The Moorish king passing through the city of Granada)

In the year 711 the Arabs entered the Peninsula from north Africa. During eight centuries of living together with the Christians and Jews, there was a great cultural development based on the mutual enrichment. In 1492 the Catholics reconquered Granada and completed Gla Reconquistag. Some years after thousands of Muslims and Jews were expelled from the peninsula by the Catholic Kings. This was the end, but the cultural richness still remained in the character of each form of art in the Spanish renaissance.

The intention of Sepharad is to transmit to the public the common points of these three cultures through the music of this time. The collaboration of Al Tarab is something special in this concert, because it represents an important part of this story.
