Bob Rychlik
“Fujara” is a native flute from Slovakia, with a unique voice. Many say that they will never forget hearing the Fujara for the first time. It is a very large, up to 6 feet long fipple overtone flute with 3 side holes and a parallel smaller tube, which supplies air to the top of the flute. Fujara has amazingly rich spectrum of healing overtones and is well suited for meditation and improvisation. Bob Rychlik has been performing with fujara and overtone flute at Folk Festivals and other events in Maryland and other places for many years, also playing live with Washington ballet troupe “CityDance” on many stages, from Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., to St. Petersburg, Russia. His first fujara was a gift from a friend during visit to Slovakia in the fall of 1999, and he has been playing it since and sharing its haunting voice with other people. Besides fujara, he performs with overtone flute "koncovka", and 6-hole Slovak flutes, he also home-recorded sampler CD "Ideas with fujara".
