Ratones gordos
In IX century, in Baghdad, Mohamed ben el Harif wanted to search for unusual sonorities by means of an instrument used by the singers in a more ancient period : mizafa. But this turned out to be a mousetrap which does not catch the audience applause, but caught the artist in an
alien context.
Even today to play Spanish medieval music, it is perhaps better to put themselves in the position of the listener instead of falling into the trap of that kind of philology which damps the vitality of a music that, from the Moslem conquest in 711 up to the expulsion of Hebrew people from Spain in 1492, has always been ready to treasure the coexistence among Christian people, Sephardic Hebrew people and Moslem people.
