 Alpujarras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Alpujarra (sometimes Las Alpujarras) is a mountainous district in Southern Spain, which stretches south from the Sierra Nevada mountains near Granada in the autonomous region of Andalusia.
La Alpujarra was successively settled by Ibero-Celtic peoples, by the Romans, and by Visigoths before the Moorish conquest of southern Spain in the eighth century.
The three white villages in the gorge of the Rio Poqueira, Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira, have become recognised tourist destinations; however there are many other equally traditional villages of similar appearance, for example those in the La Taha municipality to the east of the Poqueira gorge.

Over the next hundred years these two broad genres were to have a massive transforative effect on the structure of popular music and the direction of the music industry.
In the 1890s working-class dancers, composers and musicians in the La Boca area of Buenos Aires in Argentina invented a daring and sensual new dance style which was dubbed the tango".
It took Argentina by storm and after reaching New York during World War I it became an international sensation, aided by a plethora of tango recordings and crystallised by the famously steamy tango scene in Rudolph Valentino's legend-making 1921 film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

On the one hand, the rich diversity of styles is a treat to behold: fiery tribal world music with a French twist (Rachid Taha) and barnstorming melodic rock (the Soft Boys) merge with stirring soul jazz (Angélique Kidjo) and hyped-up techno dub (Asian Dub Foundation).
Moreover, the dark atmosphere permeating the album--exemplified best by the sweltering exotic dance of De Phazz, Transglobal Underground's smoldering trip-hop, and droning, lo-fi post-punk from the Feelies--captures the ominous, suspense-thriller mood of the movie perfectly.
