About the Bb spanish scale

The Spanish scale, closely related to the Phrygian dominant mode, has a distinctly flamenco and Andalusian sound. Its characteristic flat 2nd and major 3rd create the exotic tension associated with Spanish music. It is widely used in flamenco guitar, Latin jazz, and any music evoking a Mediterranean atmosphere.
