It is not Moorish. Spanish Gitanos or Gypsies with their own oriental culture are famous due to Flamenco art, Inmaterial Heritage of Humanity, and genetically they are rooted in India, not with Arabs or Berbers. There are over ten million Gypsies in Europe, most of them in Eastern Europe from where they came into Spain by the border with France. It is a common mistake of foreigners to believe when in Spain that Spanish Gypsies are linked to Muslim Moors. They are not.
Can you tell us more about their contribution to society apart from flamenco, which incidentally comes from Arabic (fellah menkoub), meaning peasant in despair, referring to the laments of suffering peasants?
Howdy?~ Lkie. what a epic - )
Thank you :-)
