«Música en la Aljafería: Homenaje a Avempace» is the album by Ensemble Ibn 'Arabi, released on CD in 1999.
Album conceived as a tribute to the Andalusian thinker Avempace and the setting of the Aljafería Palace in Zaragoza. Its repertoire, rooted in Sufi and classical Andalusian traditions, combines instrumental and vocal pieces with forms such as the muwashshah and the zéjel, and traditional instruments like the ney and the qanun. The ensemble evokes the cultural crossroads of al-Andalus and the sound traditions of the medieval Mediterranean.

It will appeal to fans of medieval music and the Sufi and Andalusian sound traditions of the Mediterranean.
