The « Association Andalouse Alhambra » was founded in 1996 by Luis de la Carrasca, songwriter, Andalusian musician and singer. The creation of the association was for him more than an artistic project, he got closer to his culture, and his project was built around an authentic and passionate base.

On 16 January 2001, the Andalusian Government (Junta de Andalucía) recognized the association as being « Communauté Andalouse sise hors des frontières » (an Andalusian Community outside its frontiers).

Its aim is to promote and spread Andalusian Culture, to spread the artistic creations of Luis de la Carrasca and to support Spanish, Ibero-American and Mediterranean Culture in its artistic events.
