Zyryab is a 1990 album by flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía and his sextet. It features jazz pianist Chick Corea and guitarist Manolo Sanlúcar. The album is named after Ziryab, a 9th-century, Arabic or Persian [2] Arab,[3] and Black African[4][5][6][7]-poet/musician at the Umayyad court in Córdoba, credited with introducing to Spain the Persian lute, later to become the Spanish guitar.
