	SPANISH TRADITIONAL MUSIC
		Musical instruments used include the flute, the accordion, drums, guitars, the 'zambomba': a sort of drum, played by pulling a rope from within the drum and which is found also in other parts of Spain.
		Moorish influences are notable in music in the region, for instance in the music during festivities, such as the festivities of the 'Misteri/Misterio' in Elche/Elx in the south of the Valencian region.
		Musical instruments used include stringed instruments: guitars and the 'charanga' (a stringed instrument, a type of guitar) which is also used in Central- and South-America and drums and drumming instruments and percussion instruments.

	Damocles Trio (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Nor was this the first time that Spanish composers prided themselves in transcending or at least eschewing obvious references to their nationality: throughout much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the mania for Italian musical tastes on the Iberian peninsula dictated a decidedly foreign aesthetic as did Catalonia's slightly later Wagner-craze.
		Music for traditional chamber groupings - string quartets, piano trios, etc. - does not seem to have flourished in the outputs of major Spanish composers.
		Since the mid-nineteenth century many Spanish composers and musicologists had been preoccupied with the socially redemptive potential of musical education, leading to the formation of working-class choral societies and municipal bands.

	Music of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music notation developed in Spain as early as the eighth century (the so-called Visigothic neumes) to notate the chant and other sacred music of the Christian church, but this obscure notation has not yet been deciphered by scholars, and exists only in small fragments.
		The music of the Christian church in Spain was known as the music of the Mozarabic Rite, and developed in isolation, not subject to the enforced codification of Gregorian chant under the guidance of Rome around the time of Charlemagne.
		Music for vihuela by Luis de Milán, Alonso Mudarra and Luis de Narváez stands as one of the main achievements of the period.

		Spanish Music is Flamenco (Spain) not Mariachi (Mexico)

		Flamenco, music rooted in the cante jondo (deep song) of the gitanos (gypsies) of Andalusia, is experiencing a revival.

	Spanish Abroad - Music and Dance of Costa Rica
		On the Caribbean coast music is profoundly Afro-Caribbean in spirit and rhythm, with plentiful drums and banjos, a local rhythm called sinkit, and the cuadrille, a maypole dance in which each dancer holds one of many ribbons tied to the top of a pole: as they dance they braid their brightly colored ribbons.
		The country is one of the southernmost of the "marimba culture" countries, although the African-derived marimba (xylophone) music of Costa Rica is more elusive and restrained.
		Also important are the Monteverde music festival and the South Caribbean music festival, held in Puerto Viejo.

		This Spanish pop sensation has proved herself to be a winner with the release of "Esencia Natural" debut album.
		The group is unlike any other, and resists every musical category there is. Their sound is about as eclectic as their album art, both of which are intriguing whether you're an aficionado of Latin culture or not.
		To try to fit this CD into a genre of music would be a mistake: there's truly a little bit of everything: folk, rock, rap, jazz, reggae, country, and traditional Latin and Indian rhythms, performed mostly by acoustic guitars, accordion, violin, and flute.

		The music of Galicians, Castillians, Basques, Andalusians, and many smaller regional cultures is here still in a somewhat pure state (as pure as anything in Europe can claim to be), with radical differences in instrumentation and delivery still evident.

		Manuel de Falla (1876-1946), probably the best-known Spanish composer of the 20th century, was a prominent member of many Spanish artistic circles in the decade before the Civil War and was a close friend of that fantastic poet, Federico García Lorca.
