From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andalusian rock is a musical and cultural movement, that developed basically, though not exclusively, in Andalusia during the final years of the 1960s and the first half of the 1980s, framed in a widespread movement for the search for roots, which gave rise to the concept of Rock with roots. Although there were precedents in the compositions of Los Cheyenes or Los Brincos, it’s considered that the pioneers of the style were Smash, and Triana the most identifying band of the style, which combined flamenco with contemporary trends of progressive rock. Other examples of the genre were Veneno, Mezquita, Sabicas, Medina Azahara, Carmen, Cai, Granada, Imán, Guadalquivir, Alameda and Vega, among others.
