Luis Delgado (born 16 July 1956 in Madrid) is a Spanish instrumentalist, composer, and producer.[1] Delgado's work combines organic elements from Arab-Andalusian music, oriental and Medieval styles with electronic elements from the avant-garde.
Delgado formed the electronic and industrial musical duo, “Mecánica Popular”[2] with Eugenio Muñoz. In 1978, he formed “Finis Africae” with Javier Bergia and Juan Alberto Arteche, who joined in the mid-80s. He also formed the folk group “Babia” with Arteche and Luis Paniagua.[3]
Delgado's works includes El sueño de Al-Zaqqaq (The Dream of Al-Zaqqaq) (1998), which sets to music a collection of poems by Ibn al-Zaqqaq, "El Hechizo de Babilonia", "Alquibla", "As-Sirr", etc.
