Thx!!!

Michall,

Flamenco is inherently Arabic-inspired, through the Moorish influence (along with Jewish, Gypsy, and local Andalucian) that was, and remains, a part of Andalucia's heritage. If what you are looking for is flamenco that sounds the most Arabic, then look for anything that falls within the Zambra palo. Zambra definitely is the most "arabic" sounding of the flamenco palos.

Cheers,

Bill

as for classical pieces, the famous classical piece with arabic influence or relationship is
Paco de Lucia: Concierto de Aranjuez

its from (I think her name is Um Kalthoum), where she sings something like " aw Beirut ...." its exact same music.

I agree with BarkellWH .. Zambra s has the most arabic sound in my opinion
long time ago I played the zambra on the cd of paco pena " Flamenco Guitar music of Ramon Montoya and Nino Ricardo " it is very enjoyable

such a poor example :

Muy bien! I love this arab phrasing it could be soo wild and in other hand ver light, its shame there isnot more zambra from v amigo or those modern players...

For a really nice arabic-inspired piece check out Vicentre Gomez' "Granada Arabe". Featured in the Hemingway movie "Snows of Kilimanjaro" its a great piece of arabic-sounding guitar music with flamenco and classical styles interwoven. Vicentte Gomez was a master of both styles and it shows in his compositions. Not easy to play though? But well worth a try.
