Traditionallty, Spanish music has had strong influences from
both the Christian and Moorish cultures throughout its development.
A great mix of musical styles have emerged from the Iberian
Peninsula but one of the most well known and instantly recognizeable
is the popular and tradicional Flamenco. Both a musical and
dance style, flamenco’s unique sound comes from the
heavy Arabian influences in Spain’s southern regions,
particularly in Andalucía. Classical music has also
been present in Spain throughout the years, especially featuring
opera. Find out about some of Spain’s most important
