TAIFA is pretty original band from Spain playing the music being fusion of oriental music, Flamenco and Progressive Rock/Metal. Apart from change of the line-up, the band has two materials: “Más allá del sur” from 1999 year being the debut album and “Fe” from 2004 year, being as demo released in two languages – Spanish and English. The both materials propose the music inspired by Arabic music, Flamenco and Progressive Rock/Metal …

However at present I'm reviewing the material of video “Las Torres De Babel”, which contains the video clip of song “Las Torres De Babel” and the fragments of the concert in Morocco from 2007 year. The video clip “Las Torres De Babel” is recorded in pretty good quality of vision and sound. The scenery of the video clip is very exotic for common European, because the musicians play somewhere in some town with oriental influences of architecture portraying different places, buildings as well as people living in this exotic terrain. The whole ideally harmonizes with marked with the influences of Orient music and Flamenco and there you can see not only play on rock instruments but and local instruments from the region.
In turn the fragments of the concert from Morocco are worse quality, although they portray reigning climate during the show… The scene is very colorful with carpets spread on the floor and on the scene appear differs hospitable musicians with different instruments! During filming of the public it turns out that the concert is accessible for all persons – not only for fans of Rock/Metal.

The music of the band creates the very original exotic climate. Here does not lack both typical Rock/Metal playing and folk themes.
