In 2003/4 Chris Rael and I took a trip to find his grandfathers birthplace in Grenville,New Mexico. Thru a serendipitous series of small events we discovered Chriss huge Chicano family, Marrano Jews,who during the Spanish Inquistion converted or were forced to convert to Christianity.We continued to research his family ending up in Cordoba, Spain. Chris wasnt particularly interested in Flamenco but I insisted we attend a concert and Chris immediately recognized Flamenco used the same scales as his beloved Indian music...I bought Chris a CD of Sepherdic songs and the rest as they say, is history.
