Songs of Imagined Migrations: the Guy Mendilow Band's Ladino ProjectNow Touring - Songs of Imagined Migrations: The Guy Mendilow Band's Ladino Project

Get ready for a musical voyage starting in ancient Spain and winding through Sarajevo, Smyrna, Salonica and Jerusalem as this award winning quintet breathes new life into centuries-old Sephardi  romanzas and canticas.  Colorful tales of sailors seduced by sirens at sea, murder, intrigue, fantastic dreams and the treachery of kings and queens abound in arrangements that go from gritty and spare to sweepingly cinematographic, and through a presentation that is at once captivating and down-to-earth in its humour and charm.

What happens when a music that is the product of hundreds of years of migrations continues to travel, landing in such unlikely places as Appalachia or the streets of Salvador in Northeastern Brazil? Drawing on the dynamic world music expertise of each of its players, the charismatic quintet explores a re-imagined world of Ladino music, making an ancient music fresh for modern audiences. The result is a thrilling blend of Sephardi tempered with Brazilian street beats and blues in vibrant musical storytelling awash with warm vocal harmonies, intricate textures and spellbinding rhythms.

"Skyland, named after the farm [in which the album was recorded], has to be one of the most ear-opening albums of the year. During the 1960s, Kaleidoscope featuring David Lindley stretched the boundaries of world music within a rock band about as far as they could be stretched, walking away with a reputation as heroes for sonic adventurers. The Guy Mendilow Band may not be quite as rambunctious, but they are no less daring."
