Joglaresa & Belinda Sykes - Sing We Yule (2017)

UK's most popular medieval / folk band who imaginatively push, and often transcend, the limits of what is thought of as early music! Regulars on BBC Radio, Joglaresa have performed at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Barbican and many more.

Joglaresa were the first medieval band to develop a programme of songs entirely devoted to Mary Magdalen, and they were pioneers in programming medieval Jewish and Arabic texts. 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, Balkan and Middle Eastern music) to create a homogenous sound - Joglaresa members spent years in North Africa and the Middle East absorbing the best traditional tunes, learning the local languages (Arabic and Hebrew).
