Joglaresa

Conjunto

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.
