The music is Morisco music, found on Iberian Garden, Vol. 1 by Altramar. The piece is Muwashshah: Mā li-l-muwallah, 1113-1198.

This music takes place at the beautiful gardens along the Guadalquiver, near Cordoba. This is during the "convivencia" under Alfonso X (El Sabio - The Wise), the time before Granda fell: when Christians, Moslems and Jews lived at peace with each other. Muwashshah are songs in poetic form, with instrumental interludes in the form of Ibn Bājja (Avempace): 1470-1520. This is Morisco art.

Goods such as gold and slaves came to Sally from various parts of Africa and from England too. Goods were also sold at Sally, to other parts of Africa as well as to England. Trans-Saharan Camels transported the goods. Yes, slaves were viewed as "objects", just as they are today!
