Fujara Studies
An Experimental Album involving the Ancient Folk Instruments of Slovakia and Eastern Europe.
Eva’s current project is an album giving voice to traditional Slavic Instruments, particularly the Fujara from her home country of Slovakia. Eva’s creative approach to the music in this album involves a commitment to innovation through genre and instrumental application.
The Fujara holds great cultural significance to Eva’s home country, and is tied to both folk music and ancient hand-crafting techniques. Folk instruments should be protected and they should have the opportunity to evolve in new ways as music evolves as well. Eva hopes that by innovating their application her album will serve to both share it with diverse audiences and create space for the Fujara on the modern stage.
By reimagining the traditional instruments of our past in ways that elevate their importance for our future, Eva imagines a collaborative coming together of musicians and audiences alike. To celebrate our diverse backgrounds, deepen our appreciation, and creatively approach the way we interact with ancient instruments moving forward.
The fujara was added to the UNESCO list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005.
