Republique Tcheque/ Musique De

Songs, flutes, bagpipes, guimbards, fiddles and cymbalums display the diversity of the music fram Walachia, Hornacko and Kopanice, where, through lullabies and Carnival, work, weddings, sheperds' or bandits' music, this recording is an invitation to listen to musical traditions as they are still performed today. These recordings were made in 2010 by Czech Radio and intend not only to display the variety of traditional music from this mountainous region but also to demonstrate the close connection between the songs and nature; the album is divided into four sections indicating the seasons and stages of human life. The songs reflect folk custom and traditions (carnival, harvest, wedding), history (Turkish invasion) and more personal subjects: lullabies, work songs, dances and an important group with shepherd and bandit themes. The melodies are influenced by the characteristic instruments of the region: flutes, pipes and the fujaras or Slovac shepherds overtone flutes.
