About

The hypnotic melodies, complex time signatures, and raw physicality of Kaynak Pipers Band’s kaba gaida music will forever change the way you think of the bagpipe and bagpipe music.  Kaba gaida, the Rhodope Mountains bagpipe, is a distinctive symbol of folk music in Bulgaria, having retained its original form, sound and purpose.  Kaynak Pipers Band continues in the centuries-old traditions of gaida performance, accompanying weddings and other village celebrations,  playing rhythms that astounded Bartok and  infectious melodies that distill myriad central Asian and middle eastern influences into Bulgaria’s own unique culture.  The band’s appearance at MIT is part of their first US tour, an effort to make kaba gaida accessible to more people globally, while exposing the Boston community to the progressive musical qualities of this traditional form, which creates an avant-garde compositional experience of their folk roots

Presented by the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) as part of the 2016-17 MIT Sounding Series. The Kaynak Pipers Band is funded in part by the Sofia Municipality’s Programme Culture in 2016.
