"carnival-like exuberance ... enjoyable and virtuosic" FROOTS
 

"Thrilling and haunting" The Times



This UK-based band sounds more like a street carnival band than a solemn early music group. There is nothing airy-fairy in this medieval music - Joglaresa embodies the boldness and improvisatory chutzpah that gets straight to the heart of medieval music.


Comprising outstanding international performers from classical, world, folk and jazz, Joglaresa has a sound that is at once traditional and contemporary - combining intoxicating elements of Medieval, Middle Eastern, Flamenco and Celtic musics, they create a unique London sound that is both extrovert and intimate.
