We know that key influences on Flamenco date back to Islamic Iberia or the Al- Andalusian era of Spain between the 8th-15th centuries. Yet the first mention of Flamenco by name is not until 1774, where it appears in an epistolary novel, Cartas Marruecas, by the playwright and soldier, Jose de Cadalso y Vazquez.

What happened in these intervening centuries?

In collaboration with soprano Victoria Couper, kanun player, Konstantinos Glynos, and oud/Flamenco guitarist, Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde, this album seeks to explore this question by tracing the influences on Flamenco through Arabic music alongside Sephardic song and the Spanish composers of the late-16th to 18th centuries.

Featured on BBC Radio 3's Record Review on 1st February: 'It is a really lovely sequence of pieces, often unexpected and alluring.'

'a fascinating musicological trawl through three centuries of Byzantine- and Moorish-influenced European chamber music. Lux Musicae London work delicate spells on period instruments, with three superb guest artists.' – BBC Music Magazine (5 stars)
