Spanish prog, short for Spanish progressive rock, is a rich and diverse music genre that emerged in the late 1960s and flourished throughout the 1970s. Characterized by a fusion of rock with elements of Spanish folk, flamenco, and classical music, this genre embodies a distinctive Mediterranean warmth and emotional depth. Artists in this field are known for their technical skill, complex compositions, and often poetic lyrics, which can be imbued with socio-political commentary, reflective of Spain's turbulent times during the era. Bands like Triana and Medina Azahara brought a more Andalusian flavor with flamenco influences, whereas groups like Iceberg dabbled in jazz-fusion. Instruments traditional to Spanish music, such as the Spanish guitar, are commonly woven into the elaborate arrangements, melding the old with the new to create an eclectic and timeless sound.
