Title
Banquo Folk Ensemble
Description
Banquo plays (mostly) folk music and early music from (mostly) all over Europe, (mostly) from about the 12th century to present day.
We started out in the summer/fall of 1998, playing primarily Irish traditional music, and wanting to explore a fusion with early music. Since then, our vision has expanded dramatically to include basically, whatever we want. :) Part of the philosophy is that we refuse to be pigeonhole-able, which would tend to restrict us to a particular tradition or time period. And we're not willing to be so restricted. All this music is too interesting to leave behind just because it doesn't "fit" in some way.
The vast majority of our repertoire comes from various folk traditions, though we do also have some original pieces. Sometimes, we've written a new tune for an existing song; sometimes we'll tinker with a folk tune until it becomes something else entirely.
