Ride the Sand Waves - Live with Kawala flute May28th
The kawala, a traditional end-blown flute from the Middle East and North Africa, boasts a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt. Crafted from hollow cane with four knots, it features six finger holes in a straight line for producing melodies. Distinct from its close relative, the ney, the kawala lacks a hole in the back. Despite its simplicity, the kawala is capable of producing a wide range of expressive tones, often described as warm and reedy. This unique voice makes it a staple in traditional folk music from Egypt and surrounding regions, where it beautifully complements singing and other instruments.
