Arabic Andalusian

Before we begin, lets hear how Andalusian actually sounds like.
This is the best video I could find. The rest doesn't seem to Andalusian as it has tons of mixtures of spanish, irish etc2.


ANDALUSIAN MUSIC
Itss a style of Arabic music found across North Africa, though it evolved out of the music of Andalusia between the 9th and 15th centuries, during the Al-Andalus period. It is now most closely associated with Morocco.

Ok now thats a lot of information for one sentence. Lets break it down.

MUSIC OF ANDALUSIA (the bold one above)
Andalusia is a region in Spain that is best-known for flamenco, a form of music and dance that is mostly performed by Gypsy people and popular throughout the world. Arab Muslims influence seems common, and more inherent than in the rest of Spain.

Flamenco is the music of the gypsies and played in their social community. Flamenco is very interesting! I will elabourate on it more on the next entry.

Al-Andalus was the Arabic name given to the parts of the Iberian Peninsula governed by Arab and African Muslims, at various times in the period between 711 and 1492.

CONTINUE: ANDALUSIAN MUSIC (note that music of andalusia and andalusian music is 2 DIFFERENT things)
Arab-Andalusian music, a unique art form, the love and knowledge of which are transmitted entirely by oral tradition, is not played in Morocco in concert halls, but is performed at festivities, often at family gatherings, where the traditional songs are sung.As in Moroccan Arab-Andalusian music, the instruction is essentally oral and is passed on by ear from generation to generation.

Nothing much interesting I can find about Andalusian Music and its not really popular in Internet. Should find books regarding it, though I doubt the library will have it, or at least, have something that is different from what I have researched here.
