Description:

If you are interested in music performed with kaval or you play kaval or you are learning how to play this ancient folk instrument, then this is a place for you.

The ancient flute, kaval, is an end-blown flute with eight finger holes. An end-blown flute is one which has no wind-way or fipple on the end you blow into, but it is just a straight hollow tube! That's why it is very difficult to play it.

probably the most 'occidental' band with kaval: the croatian band Afion. they sound really great. by the way the name of the kaval player seems to be macedonian: Aleksandar Jovevski, who plays also tambura and bagpipes. i really love the songs 'Karanfile', 'Zvečer' and 'Zablealo'.

Just a quick suggestion I found by chance: Dumitru Zamfira. As a flautist or 'kavalist', find here his discography. s.

In this disc, by the french composer Hugues de Courson, former member of Malicorne, there's a song called Alatul Concerto pour kaval & flûte. Maybe it could be interesting for the group. s.
