... History of the Fujara ...
About the Fujara
"The ancestor of the Detva-type
fujara, in both design and acoustic way, is the 3-hole fipple flute. The
manufacturing techniques are close to the making of other sorts of shepherd’s
flutes. About the history of the fujara little is known, as historic sources
from previous centuries are almost none existent. The appearance of the Detva
fujara in Central Slovakia in the adjacent
Poľany
region is unique. Nowhere else,
in no other nation, society or tribe, nor any other ethnic group a similar
instrument like the fujara is found. Its unique and narrow location of
occurrence proves that it was not imported by the Walachian colonists. With some
certainty we can state, that the Detva fujara as an individual type of
instrument has evolved within the shepherds’s circles in Central Slovakia.
Therefore the Detva fujara can be considered a rare instrument and a jewel of
the Slovak folkore musical instrument collection."
The depth of the sound, the wood density and precision of labour will appeal in its full essence. People hardly realise, what the vibrations of the lowest registers can do to the human soul. The human subconscious opens up and the universe is within reach.
