DESCRIPTION
"Reconquista" marks the beginning of the epic journey that is The Lords of Wisdom trilogy. This album takes you on a musical voyage through one of the most fascinating and turbulent periods in the history of the Iberian Peninsula—the Reconquista, a centuries-long struggle that spanned the entire Middle Ages, culminating in the capture of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs.
​
Drawing inspiration from both the Christian kingdoms and the Muslim territories of medieval Spain, "Reconquista" weaves together the rich and diverse musical traditions of these cultures. The album seamlessly blends the ancient sounds of medieval Christian and Islamic Spain with the grandeur of contemporary symphonic rock, creating a sonic tapestry that transports the listener to a bygone era.
​
Through this intricate fusion, "Reconquista" aims to evoke the spirit of the medieval Iberian Peninsula, capturing the cultural richness and historical significance of this epoch. The album is not just a collection of songs, but a carefully crafted narrative that brings the age of the Reconquista to life, making it a true musical journey through time.
