Giesta - A presentation of what they do, made in collaboration with the videographer Abel Andrade

Giesta is one of the most common bushes in Iberian Peninsula. It invades hills growing in every possible surface and has the capacity of restoring fertility to the most arid soils. As a duo, Giesta focuses on early western notated music and oral traditions of Mediterranean countries. Joana and Irene use their voices, recorders and traditional percussion as tools to transform and reinvent these repertoires. With an historical performance background, they tap into the overlap between these traditions and deconstruct them through composing and arranging, improvisation and contemporary techniques. Coming from Portugal and Spain, the duo is based in the Netherlands where they met while studying.
