Morisco Memory from the album Nur
Music composed by Ali Keeler in collaboration with Al Firdaus Ensemble
The verses are from the Aljamiado poem 'Al Madha' from an original 16th century manuscript kept at the CSIC in Madrid
The Arabic poem is by the Egyptian poet Ahmad Shawqi
The Morisco manuscript was discovered by builders while restoring a house in the town of Almonacid de la Sierra near Zaragoza in the year 1884.
It was hidden inside a wall by a Morisco family when the edict was made by King Philip lll to expel the Moriscos from the Spanish peninsular in the year 1609.
The poem is in Aljamiado which is an old Castilian dialect written in the Arabic script.
For practical reasons the location of the incident was changed to Granada for the video clip.
Similar manuscripts have been discovered in several different locations in Spain.
