What is the Flamenco Zambra?
Zambra is a flamenco style that originated in Granada and Almeira. The Zambra is believed to have derived from earlier Moorish dance styles, and thus the melodies usually have an arabesque quality. Zambras are very metric, typically have a bouncy, alternating bass on strong beats. When playing a Zambra, guitarists will usually tune their guitar bass string down to drop D.
