Vocalist, songwriter and nyckelharpa instrumentalist Ana Alcaide has released a new video for her delightful song ‘En El Jardin De La Reina’ from her critically acclaimed album La Cantiga del Fuego.
Alcaide’s music draws on influences of magnificent Toledo, Spain and the Sephardic traditions of the city. She uses a wide range of world music instruments like the oud, santoor, bouzouki, mandola, medieval lute, darbuka along with her own playing of the nyckelharpa and Celtic harp. The final result is a sumptuous and intricate musical landscape.
Previous recordings include Viola de Teclas and Como La Luna y El Sol
