El programa de mano, en inglés, decía:
During the 13th and 15th centuries, The Moorish Band (La Banda Morisca) was the changing border that separated the Nasrid Arab-Andalusian Kingdom of Granada from the Crown of Aragon and Castile.
Within this strip of no-man’s land, where both Christian and Muslim dealers, fugitives and nomads, as well as the first gypsies coming to the Iberian Peninsula, met and coexisted, it is probable that the forms and the sensitivity of what would later come to be known as “Cante Jondo” started to crystallize.
La Banda Morisca is also, the name of a septet from Jerez de la Frontera (Andalusia) - a group of passionate musicians who have founded or been involved in numerous musical adventures with some of the most remarkable bands from World Music and traditional Spanish music circuits such as Radio Tarifa, La Jambre, Eduardo Paniagua, La Musgaña, Hevia and Zoobazar.
They are blending their original and creative view of a traditional repertoire with Oriental and Western influences from south of the Mediterranean, like Muwashahas, Chaabi, Dahmane el Harachi and Nass el Ghiwane, and the mood of the traditional flamenco from Jerez and Andalusian rock, such as Lole & Manuel, El Chozas and Triana.
