Officially expelled, the last Moriscos, thrown into the melting pot of marginalisation alongside Gitanos and itinerant wanderers, passed on their melismas to Andalusian music. Let us listen as these kindred artistic traditions come together once more, their voices joining today to become our own music, alive and vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programme notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This show was presented at the Royal Alc\u00e1zar of Seville<\/strong> as part of the Noches de Euterpe 2024 series<\/em>. This historic palace, with its Mud\u00e9jar courtyards, arches and gardens, offers a unique setting that combines architectural beauty and fine acoustics for enjoying Baroque and Renaissance music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the expulsion of the last Moriscos from the Alpujarra \u2013 distant heirs of the very first Muslims to settle in Granada \u2013 Andalusi song might seem to have been condemned to survive only in the memory of the exiles. But the official victory, with its inevitable flip side of defeat and humiliation, could not prevent Morisco musical art from seeping into Andalusian folklore. Mixed in the melting pot of marginalisation with Gitanos and wanderers of every kind, the last Moriscos bequeathed their melismas to our musical DNA: that unmistakable way of vocalising which, whatever the musicological evidence, makes any Andalusian turn their head on hearing the muezzin\u2019s call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fahmi Alqhai, Ghalia Benali, Kiya Tabassian and Dani de Mor\u00f3n, illustrious heirs of the Arab and flamenco traditions, today unite the voices of those ancestral artistic relatives, atavistic memories of a remote past that spans time and distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
