Joglaresa

Ensemble

Directed by Belinda Sykes, this London‐based British/Irish ensemble has been playing since 1992. Now well‐established, they imaginatively push, and often transcend, the limits of what is often thought of as early music. Their work focuses on connecting ancient and traditional musics but, rather than create a 'fusion' or a surreal mix of these styles, they aim to use their combined experiences (upbringings drenched in traditional Irish, English, Maghrebi and Middle Eastern music) to create a homogenous sound.
