German bard performs: the Top 10 of the middle ages 1/2

Ricarda Reeck plays the Top 10 of the Middle Ages with her band Wayward. But not only that, she researches the historical background, how the songs were handed on, the lives of the minstrels and troubadours. She is concerned with the whole performance in the style of the period she is recreating, from the Middle Ages to the 16th and 17th centuries. Rebecca herself sings, plays the hurdy-gurdy, and also writes new songs in the style of the period. Her partner Nick sings and plays various historical wind instruments. On their CD Rata Fortunae, several other musicians are also involved. And the medieval festivals are also about the representation of the time in costumes and props, because the minstrels were entertainers who also juggled, told stories, performed puppet theatre and did acrobatics.
