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
