It’s a mixture of French impressionistic sounds and Spanish rhythms. Spanish composers like De Falla, Rodrigo and Turina, who became friends during their student years in Paris, attempted to combine Ravel’s and Debussy’s impressionistic sounds with their own Spanish roots and encouraged one another to rediscover Spanish folk music idioms.
