Dreams Of Andalusia: Jewish, Arabic and Christian Songs of Medieval Spain: Belinda Sykes & Joglaresa
Joglaresa are leaders in the improvisational and cross-cultural aspects of their repertoire, which is Medieval, Middle Eastern, Flamenco and Celtic music. The resulting sound on this CD is more like a street carnival band than a highbrow early music group. The quote ‘Medieval Rock ’n’ Roll’ is most apt in describing this CD. It melds together the traditional and contemporary to create a sound that is both extrovert and intimate with plenty of chutzpah thrown in as well. Bring on the belly dancers!
