In turn, Antonio Rae said: “Being able to perform in a region with a musical culture I hold in high esteem and
playing alongside talented artists from the Arab world is a major achievement in my career. It is a dream

come true. It’s not only a fulfilling experience but also a challenge and a substantial responsibility to introduce
Flamenco and flamenco guitar to this unique audience. I am sincerely grateful for this chance.”

For his part, Sadiq Jafar said: “I am delighted to participate in this event dedicated to commemorating the
rich heritage of an ancient civilization that has left a lasting impact on various aspects of life, particularly in
the realm of the arts. Joining the ‘Andalusian Nights: Guitar and Arabic Music’ event will allow me to share my

perspective on Andalusian heritage. This event will serve as a medium to illustrate the profound influence of
Arab culture on the artistic landscape of Spain.”

and workshops. These events highlighted Andalusia’s rich heritage, contributing to cultural dialogue, and
