Spanish Caravan

Spanish Caravan

Spanish Caravan is a song by The Doors from the Waiting for the Sun album. Its basic flamenco track is an established form of flamenco music known as Granadinas. This melodic contour and free flowing rhythm is from Granada city of the Alhambra. Its delicate and syncopated minors reveal its oriental Islamic heritage. This city and province was the last stronghold of the Moors in Southern Spain until 1492. Descended from the Fandango this beautiful flamenco rhythm is tinged with melancholy and resignation.Manitas de Plata, uncle of the Gypsy Kings and Paco Pena both play this form with great passion and feeling.
