Medjool is a Santa Fe–based ensemble presenting original and traditional music. Their influences are as exotic and diverse as the places they draw from, including Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Spain, Morocco, India, Ireland and the Balkans. With extensive experience in worldmusic traditions as well as a long standing love for experimental improvisation, their compositions are steeped in an ambiance of ancient sounds combined with a rich and moody sense of playful spontaneity. You might hear Medjool deliver an upbeat dance piece, such as is found find at a Romanian Gypsy wedding, then suddenly discover yourself drawn into a haunting song of longing and surrender, all mixing together creating a magical and dreamy experience of the senses. The five-piece band brings together experienced local musicians who have been participating in the Santa Fe scene for many years in a wide variety of collaborations.
