'Caravanserai' live at the Alhambra: exclusive video

Quinlan Road presents the worldwide debut of live video footage of "Caravanserai", the first single from An Ancient Muse. Loreena McKennitt and her fellow musicians are captured performing the song in
the breathtaking environment of the Carlos V Rotunda at the
historic Alhambra monument in Granada, Spain in September 2006.

The streaming video footage of "Caravanserai" offers viewers an advance taste of the forthcoming television concert special Loreena McKennitt: Nights from the Alhambra, which is slated for broadcast in early 2007 in the United States via PBS Television’s Great Performances series.
