	Spain: National Geographic World Music
		Spain is a nation of intense regional identities, with 17 autonomous administrative regions (and two autonomous cities) reflecting the country's medieval history as a peninsula of small, competing kingdoms.
		Flamenco is Spain's signature musical export, and is as close to a "national music" as the nation comes.
		Spain is also the home of a burgeoning pop music industry, which began to take off in the 1980s with la movida—a cultural reawakening that shook off the long, dull years of Franco's fascist rule.

		Flamenco probably originated in Cadiz, Jerez de la Frontera[?] and Triana[?], and is a descendent of musical forms left by Moorish invaders during the 8th-14th century.
		Also from Spain was the famous trio of singing clowns Gaby Fofo Y Miliki[?], and the humorist Arévalo[?].

	Spanish Music
		Spain comprises many regions with their own historical and cultural characteristics, including a variety of languages (Castilian, Catalan, Basque, Galician), and this regional diversity is strongly reflected in its music.
		Also an important influence on the music of Spain was the invasion by the Arabs and Moors and the long occupation that followed (711-1492).
		Spain could boast of having some of the greatest composers of church music in this period, notably Cristobal de Morales (c.1500-53), Francisco Guerrero (1527-99), and above all Tomas Luis de VICTORIA, whose masterpiece is his magnificent Requiem Mass (1605).

		While most of these projects are made to enhance the music of one locale with the influences of another (flamenco with a Moroccan groove; rai with a Spanish flair, etc), this band seems to have created a new music that exists outside of any one geographic boundary.
		The music is an elusive mix of Algerian and Moroccan sounds, Spanish and Medieval folk music and of course, flamenco and its cousins.

		The Music of Spain is kind of a survey course in which you get to hear a lot of different Spanish music, progressing through time.
		Outside of class you have to listen to music and write a commentary about one song for almost every class, or at least once a week, although at the beginning of the class written commentaries were not required and towards the end of the class we pretty much stopped turning them in.
		You didn't have to be good at listening to music and hearing technical details to do well in class; you had to look up and learn about the history of the time period the music was from.

	Manuel de Falla — FactMonster.com
		In Paris from 1907 to 1914, he met Debussy, Dukas, and Ravel, and was to some extent influenced by their impressionism.
		His music, however, remained distinctively Spanish, rooted both in Andalusian folk music and the classical tradition of Spain.
		Falla was an authority on flamenco music and made use of it in his compositions, keeping the vitality of flamenco but imposing upon it rigorous musical structure.
