Celtarabia (UK)

Celtarabia play high energy music for dancing. As Mojo magazine describe - from 'Erect medievalism to tribal dervish'. The band are consummate musicians and showmen 'Expect to dance!' Celtarabia play a wild fusion of Arabic, Andalusian, Celtic, Medieval music and contemporary beats designed to get bodies dancing. Some of this country's finest world dance musicians play the wildest cross-over music being made in England today. Featuring Hurdy-Gurdy, Hammered Dulcimer, Vocals, Cittern, African and Arabic Percussion, Drum kit Didgeridoo and Bass Guitar.

Originally started by Quentin Budworth as an experiment into fusion of cultural elements to create a new, very different acoustic dance music. To present and popularise the universality and diversity of acoustic dance culture to audiences who would not normally have access to the performance of acoustic/Arabic-European music.. The band plays a wide range of unusual instruments in unusual ways creating a truly unique dance sound.

Quentin is also available SOLO here, and with another project Agent Starling here.
