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 Arab, and Black African-poet/musician at the Umayyad court in Córdoba, credited with introducing to Spain the Persian lute, later to become the Spanish guitar.
Zyryab follows Paco de Lucía's innovative exploration of the new flamenco, especially through the presence of jazz pianist Chick Corea. The taranta "Tío Sabas" is dedicated to the flamenco composer Sabicas.
All pieces written by Paco de Lucía, except where noted.
