Hobart four-piece band Harlequin’s powerful performances display a dazzling array of handmade medieval instruments – Hurdy-gurdy, shawms, Whistles, vielle, citole, moraharpa, darabuka, Side drum, and tapan. Harlequin takes their audience on a thrilling and unique journey of beautiful, intriguing and wild melodies from 12th -16th century Europe and across to the Middle East. The haunting and evocative voice of Chilean-born Joana Cubillos expresses, in several languages, the timeless songs from the Cantigas of Santa Maria and other European folk backgrounds. |
