Koert Debeuf & Basma El Husseiny

Many myths exist around the influence of Roma music on Arab and European repertoire. With Seville as the capital of flamenco music, Koert Debeuf explores its roots together with cultural rights defender Basma El Husseiny. Did large groups of Roma go from India to Egypt? Did they later cross the Bosphorus to end up in Andalucía? Does this make flamenco a mix of Indian, Egyptian and Arabo-Andalusian music? 

Spoken language: English
