Kaynak Pipers Band

Kaynak Pipers Band continues in the centuries-old traditions of gaida performance, accompanying weddings and other village celebrations, playing rhythms that astound Bartók and infectious melodies that distill myriad central Asian and Middle Eastern influences into Bulgaria’s own unique culture. Kaynak means ‘source’ and is used to describe a state of the player when the music that he plays comes straight from his soul. The Kaynak Pipers Band, founded in 2013, is comprised of three gaida players, a drummer, and a vocalist. The band promotes and popularizes the kaba gaida music through concerts, workshops, and lessons.
