Music Of Andalusia
The Music of Andalusia encompasses a range of traditional and modern musical genres which originate in the territory of Andalusia in southern Spain. The most famous are copla and flamenco, the latter being sometimes used as a portmanteau term for various regional musical traditions within Andalusia. Today, Andalusia has a rich and thriving musical scene, which draws from its own musical traditions as well as from external influences such as salsa, jazz or pop music. Historical influences on Andalusian music Andalusia was probably the main route of transmission of a number of Near-Eastern musical instruments used in classical music; the rebec (ancestor of violin) from the ''Maghreb rebab'', the guitar from ''qitara'' and naker from ''naqareh''.

Ibn Al-Zaqqaq
Ali ibn Attiya ibn al-Zaqqaq () (c. 1100 Valencia - 1133 or 1134) was one of the great poets of Al-Andalus during the reign of the Almoravids. He was a Muslim from Banu Lakhm. His mother was the sister of fellow Andalusian poet, Ibn Khafaja, and there is scholarly dispute regarding his father. He was a disciple under philosopher Ibn Ṣîd de Badajoz. The patrons of Ibn al-Zaqqaq were two Valencian families, a governor, a family of Almoravid dignitaries, probably the supreme Almoravid judge of the East and perhaps the Almoravid ruler Ali ibn Yusuf himself. He wrote mostly panegyric qasidas, in a time where poetry of that kind was quickly leaving patrons' payrolls in other areas of Spain. ''El sueño de Al-Zaqqâq'' by Luis Delgado is a collection of the works of Ibn Al-Zaqqaq set to music. Reception Literary historian Emilio García Gómez referred to al-Zaqqaq's descriptive poetry as "the dramatization of metaphor".García Gómez, Emilio. ''Ibn al-Zaqqaq: Poesías''. Madrid, 1 ...
