Zyryab is a 1990 album by flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía and his sextet. It features jazz pianist Chick Corea and guitarist Manolo Sanlúcar. The album is named after Ziryab, a 9th-century, Persian^[2][3] and poet/musician at the Umayyad court in Córdoba, credited with introducing to Spain the Arabic oud, later to become the Spanish guitar.

Content[]

Zyryab follows Paco de Lucía's innovative exploration of the new flamenco, especially through the presence of jazz pianist Chick Corea. The taranta "Tío Sabas" is dedicated to the flamenco composer Sabicas.
