Aljamía
"From every direction of the Winds, through Ages, across Land and Sea,
The Energy of Life seeks it's expression.
It is Joy, woven into sound by the breath, the hands, the rhythms of Musicians.
It is Passion, given form by the Dancer and the spectacle of Flame.
Experience the Energy of Life in Music, Movement and Fire.
Experience Aljamía"
Aljamía is a recently founded dance, fire arts and music collective inspired by medieval Europe and La Convivencia. Songs and dances from the golden age of Islam and Judaism, Christian musician kings, visionary saints, anonymous minstrels and street performers. Aljamía takes you on a journey to a forgotten and erased past of multiculturalism, wisdom and beauty.
We will take you on a medieval journey throughout centuries and continents. Together as a collective, we bring to the stage a Dance & Fire show, with live music.
Our ensemble consists of six performers bringing our talents together in the spirit of dance and music, to bring joy to other people. Hannah (fire and dancing), João Almeida (bagpipes and flutes), Simon Kong (bass and oud), Rocío Ibacache (violin) & Yiss Mill (percussion).
