Macedonian and Bulgarian Folk Music

Macedonian Čalgija

Macedonian Čalgija cover

Recorded in Macedonia and featuring Bajsa Arifovska with three musicians (Hustref Said, Raim Baki, and Naser Mustafa), this CD, available as a download only, features 9 tracks of the urban Macedonian folk music known as čalgija. Bajsa is a talented multi-instrumentalist, one of the few Macedonian Romani women to take on this role, and she leads an ensemble, itself all too rare these days, of violin/clarinet, ut, kanun, and tarabuka in over 50 minutes of instrumentals.
