La escena progresiva española de finales de los 70 nadaba en la abundancia de nuevos y creativos talentos, y esta banda de corta vida existió prácticamente en el cénit de los adheridos al género. Un rock sinfónico con fuertes influencias folk con abundancia de intervalos en segunda menor. La música de Mezquita le debía mucho al flamenco y a estilos clásicos, y mostraba una tendencia a derivar hacia melodías románticas inolvidables. Como en muchos de sus contemporáneos (Triana, Imán, Ibio y Granada), hay una fuerte influencia de King Crimson. Las evidentes influencias culturales folclóricas le dan un sabor original distintivo que casi se convierte en un sello del rock progresivo español. La música de Mezquita en ocasiones se acerca a los italianos, con pinceladas de Osanna y Semiramis; otras veces a los franceses como Shylock o Artcane. El nivel de comparaciones podría situarlos en perspectiva de decir que es uno de los ejemplos clásicos de rock sinfónico europeo. (?)

Los cordobeses de Mezquita estuvieron tocando juntos desde mediados de los 70's en un grupo llamado "Expresion". La mili los separo y en 1979 se volvieron a unir para formar Mezquita a raiz del exito de Triana y de que las casas discograficas se volvieron a todo aquello que sonara a Rock Andaluz. Mas tarde Randy Lopez se unio en 1980 a sus paisanos de Medina Azahara. Califas del Rock (1981) fue su segundo y ultimo album... ya el rock andaluz no atraia masas y la movida madrileña se hacia dueña del mercado musical espanyol. Rock andaluz con una buena base ritmica, composiciones complejas, ritmo energico y ambientes somnolientos y fusion del flamenco con sonoridades arabicas y con el jazz rock. Destacar tambien las voces muy apropiadas para el subgenero que imprimen en cada tema Jose Rafa Garcia y Randy Lopez. (Juan Mellado)


Spain's late seventies "progressive rock" scene was flowing in the abundance of new and creative talent and this short lived band was practically at the zenith of this genre's adherants. A heavily folk influenced symphonic rock with an abundance of minor second intervals, Mezquita's music owed much to flamenco and classical stylings and showed a tendency to drift to romantic or haunting melodies. As with many of Mezquita's contemporaries such as Triana, Imán, Ibio and Granada, there is a strong King Crimson influence. Yet the overt cultural folk references remain strong, bringing a distinct original flavor that nearly remains a standard for Spanish progressive rock. Mezquita's music at times sits close to the Italians, with hints of Osanna and Semiramis; at other times the French like Shylock or Artcane. The level of comparisons should bring it into perspective, this is one of the supremely classic examples of European symphonic progressive rock. (?)

Mezquita were playing together since middle 70's in a band named "Expresion". Cosncription ended up with that project and in 1979 they rejoined to give shape to Mezquita after the success of Triana and favoured by the enormous interest of the music labels for the Andalusian Rock. After they splitted, Randy Lopez joined in 1980 Medina Azahara. Califas del Rock (1981) was their second and last album. Andalusian Rock was not a fashion anymore. They were in that vein with a fine rhythm base, complex compositions, powerful rhythm, and flamenco-arabic-jazz fusion. Also important to point out the vocals from Jose Rafa Garcia and Randy Lopez, very adequate to this sub-genre. (Juan Mellado)
