Flamenco rock orAndalusian rock is a rock music fusion genre that emerged from (but is not limited to) theSpanish region ofAndalusia throughout the late 1960s[1] and early 1970s. There were some precedents like a couple of albums (Rock Encounter andThe Soul of Flamenco and the Essence of Rock) bySabicas, a handful of singles bySmash, Gong, Galaxia, Flamenco or even the American-British bandCarmen. However,Triana was recognized as a pioneer of the genre since their music focuses on a homogeneous fusion of theprogressive rock andflamenco. Many bands that mixed progressive and symphonic rock with flamenco followed them, such as Imán Califato Independiente, Cai, Guadalquivir, Alameda orMezquita; that is why the termAndalusian rock may be understood simply asflamenco prog.
Medina Azahara turned from progressive to a hard rock outfit in the 1980s and they remain as one of the most popular flamenco rock bands in its home nation. Other flamenco-influenced styles of rock emerged like the flamenco-folk-rock band Veneno, flamenco-blues-rock bandPata Negra, and other bands that melted flamenco with African, reggae or Latin rhythms.[2]
