The music of the Valencian Community in eastern Spain is rich and diverse due to external influences. It can be broadly divided into two categories: traditional and contemporary music.
Traditional music
Little is known about Valencian music in ancient times, with some prehistoric pictorial remains of Valencia and Alicante as only testimonies of musical activity. With the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, and since the 9th century, the Córdoba musical tradition spread to Valencia and Xàtiva.
Valencia has a sleight of bands and singers that have popped up in the last 3–5 years that are creating their own brand of urban, jazzy, and funky music like Ay Trick, Vincen Garcia, Xixa Mora, Astral Voyage, Adrian Black, The Willards, Think Mogul, Barbara Gramage, and more.
