THE RED DAVULS
'The
Red Davuls' are a pan-Balkan Davul-Zurna group based in SE England.
The Davul
Zurna groups of the Balkans and Anatolia
perform ancient folk rituals and celebrations for varied communities.
We perform
various traditional styles from this region.
The Davul-Zurna sound is heard across the Balkans and Anatolia creating, for the
locals a link between modern life and ancient customs. The dance rhythms
and beatiful melodies create strange overtones that ring 'inside' the listeners
heads and are spiritually uplifting and addictive, creating in participants a
state of 'Kefi' or 'sevdah'. This is the original party music!
Davul is
also known as the tapan/dauli (folk 'bass' drum played with stick and wand on
either side)
Zurna is
also known as zourna/sourna/surla/zurla (keyless/open holed folk oboe/shawm) -
we play the large 'kaba' zurna
