Flamenco Fridays Sabicas
Flamenco Moro
is not a traditional flamenco palo (style), but a modern fusion of flamenco with Moroccan and Moorish musical traditions. It is not found on conventional lists of flamenco forms, which include styles like soleá, bulerías, and tango.
The term gained popularity largely through the 2025 album AFICIONADO – Flamenco Moro by Moroccan oud player and composer Alaa Zouiten. The work specifically blends the rhythmic structures and spirit of flamenco with Moroccan-Andalusian musical elements, featuring the oud (a lute-like instrument) alongside the flamenco guitar and percussion.
