Zyryab is a 1990 album by flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía and his sextet. It features jazz pianist Chick Corea and guitarist Manolo Sanlúcar. The album is named after Ziryab, a 9th-century Arab artist who is credited with introducing the Arabic oud to Spain, an instrument that would later become the Spanish guitar.
