Bueno, el troll que abre el hilo se vincula con los amerindios que vivían en Brasil a pesar de que el es cultural y genéticamente 0% amerindio.

Precisamente esto es de lo más habitual en latinoamericano. Los indigenistas más radicales no suelen ser precisamente los indigenas, sino lo ricachones blanquitos que van de perroflautas por la vida y que tienen el indigenismo como un entretenimiento para no así no tener ningún remordimientos por ser rico mientras quel los indios se mueren de hambre.

Al-Andalus fake music. They are modern authors who have made a hodgepodge of flamenco (music from 19-20 century) and arabic, and pretend to make people believe that it is traditional music of a fusion of cultures blah blah blah, pure marketing for delusions

This is the peak music in Andalusia:

The Renaissance was the Golden Age of Andalusian music, driven by the growing economic power derived from the discovery of America and the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs, which make it possible to establish the various cathedrals and their respective musical chapels , reaching its highest levels in the field of European music.

The usual instruments in the cathedral chapels were those of wind, although the strings, especially harps and violas da braccio, also participated regularly in the accompaniment or in the alternation of voices.

The cultural tradition of Seville reaches its peak during the 16th century.

The solemnity and musical complexity was a function of the importance of the religious festival held, which requires intense dedication from the chapel master, because the brilliance and showiness of the act depended on him.

Seville became, as the seat of the head of commerce with the Indies, a center of musical irradiation of the greatest importance, especially from 1506, when the new cathedral was completed.

Seville then had very notable cultivators: Pedro Fernández de Castilleja, Cristóbal de Morales, Mudarra, Francisco Guerrero or Francisco Peraza.

Cristóbal De Morales 1500-1553

Morales was the first Spanish composer of international renown. His works were widely distributed in Europe, and many copies made the journey to the New World. Many music writers and theorists in the hundred years after his death considered his music to be among the most perfect of the time.



Alonso Mudarra 1510 – 1580

was a Spanish composer of the Renaissance, and also played the vihuela, a guitar-shaped string instrument. He was an innovative composer of instrumental music as well as songs, and was the composer of the earliest surviving music for the guitar.



Francisco Guerrero 1528 - 1599

Guerrero's music was both sacred and secular, unlike that of Victoria and Morales, the two other Spanish 16th-century composers of the first rank. He wrote numerous secular songs and instrumental pieces, in addition to masses, motets, and Passions. He was able to capture an astonishing variety of moods in his music, from ecstasy to despair, longing, joy, and devotional stillness; his music remained popular for hundreds of years, especially in cathedrals in Latin America. Stylistically he preferred homophonic textures, rather like his Spanish contemporaries, and he wrote memorable, singable lines. One interesting feature of his style is how he anticipated functional harmonic usage

Nothing in our lifes is Moorish. No religion, no language, no surnames, no culture. Different food, landscapes, fauna, architecture, folklore, clothes, development, civilization, progress, whatever you are thinking. Such legacy

Now compare this "legacy" with the Spanish legacy in America: same language, same surnames, same religion. Many food and fauna (special remark to my dear horses) brought by Spaniards there, similar architecture, similar dances and music...
