	MEZQUITA Recuerdos de mi Tierra reviews and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Mezquita is a spanish progressive rock band that blends a music inspired by the italian and english scene of the earlier seventies with elements of their own culture and some arabic influences.
		Mezquita's 'Recuerdos de mi Tierra' is, IMHO, the definite masterpiece of Flamenco oriented prog, and most certainly, one of the highlights of Spanish prog in general.
		From the beautiful city of Córdoba, Mezquita managed to elaborate a prog style firmly rooted in the Flamenco traditions, and watered by the influential flows of 73-75 Yes (with less meandering), the melodic side of KC, the fire of Rush, and some hints to classic hard rock.

		The great mosque in Córdoba, the Mezquita, was built between 785 and 787 by Abd al Rahman I and was the embodiment of Islam in Iberia for centuries.
		The jewel of the Mezquita is this gilded mihrab.

	Summing up the Mezquita? On Spanish mosques and cathedrals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Many people are taken aback when trying to quickly absorb such a heady mix such as the Mezquita, which is like trying to see the Louvre in a hurry.
		In the Louvre he's left with "lots of paintings" and in the Mezquita it's "a forest of columns and arches marred by an unspectacular cathedral." These hasty generalizations don't even begin to describe either the Louvre or the Cordoba Cathedral, but they do provide easy labels for tourists with little time for serious art history.
		But for whatever reason, he pronounced the words which were to forever mar the image of the Cathedral and the Mosque of Cordoba: the cathedral was commonplace, whereas the mosque had been unique.
