Flamenco rock Flamenco rock or Andalusian rock is a rock music subgenre that emerged from (but is not limited to) the Spanish region of Andalusia throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. There were some precedents like a couple of albums ("Rock encounter (with Joe Beck)" and "The Soul of Flamenco and the Essence of Rock") by Sabicas, a couple of singles ("El garrotín / Tangos de Ketama" and "Ni recuerdo ni Olvido") by Smash, Gong, Galaxia, Flamenco or even the American band Carmen. However, Triana was recognized as a pioneer of the genre since their music focuses on a complete fusion of the progressive rock and flamenco. Many bands that mix progressive and symphonic rock with flamenco followed them such as Imán Califato independiente, Cai, Guadalquivir, Alameda or Mezquita; that's why the term "Andalusian rock" may be understood simply as flamenco 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. Also other flamenco-influenced styles of rock emerged like the flamenco-folk band Veneno, flamenco-jazz-blues band Pata Negra among other bands that melted flamenco with African, reggae or Latin rhythms.
