Ana Alcaide is a Spanish musician, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for reimagining traditional Sephardic and medieval music with a hauntingly modern twist. Originally trained as a biologist, she fell in love with the nyckelharpa (a Swedish keyed fiddle) while studying in Sweden and began weaving its resonant, folkloric sound into her reinterpretations of ancient Iberian and Mediterranean melodies. Her work often bridges cultures and eras, blending ethereal vocals with instruments like the viola de teclas, flutes, and percussion to create immersive, ritualistic soundscapes.
Active since the mid-2000s, Alcaide has released albums like *La Cantiga del Fuego* and *Ritual*, which reflect her passion for reviving forgotten musical traditions while infusing them with contemporary artistry. She frequently collaborates with global musicians and performs live in atmospheric, candlelit settings—evident in tracks like *La Lamia de Kobate (Live)* and *Baila Donde el Mar (Live)*. Her 2023 live releases and projects like *Tales of Pangea* highlight her role as a cultural storyteller, inviting listeners to wander through history with every hypnotic melody.
