Musica Mardania by PerKelt
PerKelt studio album recorded in Czechia in 2011, in the line-up consisting of:

PerKelt uses the characteristic sound of historical music instruments to re-interpret medieval songs in their own way. On this album, Musica Mardania, the band tackles the arrangement of ancient melodies intuitively and naturally, influenced by their imagination and experience with other music genres. The album builds on the members' technical and improvisational skills, carried away by spontaneous rhythms and playfulness, proving that the spirit of ancient Mardania did not die, it has only been asleep ...
