phrygian
Phrygian, originally referring to the ancient Phrygians who were an ancient Indo-European people, is now most commonly associated with music theory. It refers to a specific mode of the diatonic scale that is often perceived as having a mysterious or Spanish quality. In the phrygian mode, the second note of the scale is a half step higher than the root note, producing a distinct and often exotic sound. This mode is commonly used in Spanish flamenco music and in various forms of metal and rock.
