Al-Andalus

A memory of Muslim Spain

Long before the songs, there was a place: the courtyards and water-gardens of Al-Andalus, the arches of the Alhambra glowing amber at dusk, the mingling of Arabic, Berber and Iberian voices beneath one warm sky. Magnus Victor Orbis draws from that luminous world of Muslim Spain — its longing, its patience, its beauty — and lets it drift through cinematic strings, gentle reggae sway and Andalusian melody.
