More of the Turkish Dancer and Musicians
I zoomed in a little closer to get the lady dancer as authentic Turkish music continued to play.
One of the great advantages of the Renaissance was that music, art and dance from the different cultures influenced other cultures in most of Europe. Italy benefited the most, as it was the "hub" of trade and commerce. Music from the Middle East found its way into Italian music, which would later influence English music. Yet, Celtic music would also influence both English and Italian music, along with Turkish music. And that's just the music. Even when the Spanish kick the Moors out of Spain, they continued to build structures that had a strong Moorish influence. Such multi-cultural exchanges through the different countries helped in taking Europe out of the 500 year-old Dark Ages.
Today, modern musicians, such as Dead Can Dance and Loreena McKennitt carry on the tradition created from the interconnection of cultures that happened during the Renaissance.
