- Bob Rychlik as a master of a virtually unknown instrument called the fujara. He shares his story of escape from Communist Czechoslovakia to the United States and how the fujara plays a role in freedom.
Born in former Czechoslovakia, Bob Rychlik is an internationally-recognized teacher, composer, and performer of the fujara, koncovka, and other traditional Slovak overtone flutes. He has performed at the Library of Congress and Kennedy Center, as well as at many U.S. folk festivals and Czech and Slovak ethnic festivals throughout the U.S. and abroad, including a 5-hour playing marathon at the Slovak Embassy.
Bob has been promoting the fujara and its music in the western world, and connects fujara makers and players through his database. He co-organized 3 International fujara festivals in Slovakia, and has appeared with his fujara in film, on TV, and on the radio in U.S., Czech Republic and Slovakia, and has been teaching week-long fujara and koncovka course at CGOTH, McDaniel College, Maryland every year since 2011. In 2016 he also performed at the National Flute Association convention in San Diego

Úžasná hra na fujare.. ostatné vyrušujúce..
Hey Bob, my friend, this is the third time I have seen this post and I have known it since it appeared on RUclips. It's soooo good that you brought the Fujara into this great format (TEDx). And you did it really well, I don't think I've even told you yet. Professionally precise, rhetorically skilful, humorous and serious. A lecture with heart and mind. Many thanks for that!
Love this talk to bits. Bob's story is definitely something else! The fujara has such an angelic sound, nothing beats it. Bob has another talk he did (one full hour!) which has been uploaded on the Library of Congress channel. Definitely worth a watch!
Veľmi pekné, ďakujeme 💓🍀👍
What a wonderfull human beeing.
Great job, Bob. Thoroughly enjoyed the story of the hidden money while escaping from behind the Iron Curtain. See you soon at the Barbershop Jam.
Naprostá paráááda, Bobe...od Destiňáků PALEC HORE ;-) ;-)
Krása !
I love this guy!
Neskutečné, :)
It's wonderful!
Awesome video
красиво
I love this
Where'd he get his shirt?
Hi. It's a traditional Czechoslovakian clothing. But every region of Czechoslovakia had own clothing (now the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic). I don't know which one is this one. Actually, we don't use it anymore. It's a heritage.
@ We dont use it anymore? Speak for yourself bohemian spy. In Moravia and Slovak part it is still alive.
@@danielson145 Pane, máte pocit, že po slovensku a česku sa stále chodí v kroji? Ja neviem, ale naposled som videl ľudí v krojoch pri hodoch alebo pri turiciach. Takže sa Vám ospravedlňujem, že som Vás konsternoval. Len neviem prečo mi píšete "bohemian spy". Celkom som to nepochopil. Prajem pekný večer.
Well...
You can probably buy it online. That is certainly possible. However you would have a better chance if you went to Slovakia or Czechia a d reached up to either some souvenir shops (i have seen it in some) or (and probably for a better one) reached out to someone who makes these as a traditional craftsmen.
The shirt is not worn everyday today, it is a heritage piece. However, you could see it being used by traditional dancers, people attending certain events (mostly tied ut to traditions) but I believe I have seen somewhat of a "revival" with them. I think I have seen some T-shirts with similar patterning. (Essentially a modernised version of this... The trends in fashion do get ocasional revivals)
Personally, I do not own one, but I would like to see a revival of atleast the patterns and and geometry in modern clothing. It would be nice to see more t shirts with them.
Ps. I feel pike his shirt is somewhere from the north of central Slovakia. Perhaps Liptov or Orava regions? Both are close (distance wise) and are tied up to quite a lot of heritage stuff.
@ áno, začína sa nosiť aj bežne, slovanstvo zažíva znovuobrodenie i u nás, i ja s mužom si takéto plánujeme kúpiť, pravé ľanové košelé sú príjemné na nosenie ale pozeráme aj po móde inšpirovanej našimi tradíciami; napr. v Rakúsku sa v niektorých oblastiach ľudia bežne obliekajú do krojov aj mimo sviatkov, teda denne :-)
Aj teraz tu mame totalitu.
Overtones or harmonics...in music of the spheres of Pythagoras...who took over many of the teachings of Thracian Orpheus as written by Syrianos the teacher of Proclus who studied the Theology of Plato...himself influenced by Orpheus. Slovakia neighbored Romania...the Free Dacians lived in the north of Romania in the Carpathians...where there are Slovaks as well. The national attire of Slovak shepherds is very similar to the Romanian attire...fujara may be an ancient instrument
Sorry man, if you came to play then play … rest is bla-bla …
When I was invited, to the TEDx talk, that was my plan, just another concert,
but the TEDx organizer said: No, no, it is a TALK so you have to talk. What should I talk about?
How did you get into this country? …. I told him….., “Thats good, talk about tbat!”. So I have combined that story with fujara playing as much as I could ……..
