The kaval, an eight-hole wooden "shepherd" flute, is one of the oldest instruments in Europe, rich in tone and technical possibilities. Theodosii Spassov has developed his own unique style of playing the instrument by synthesizing traditional folklore with jazz, classical and pop music.
For over 19 years, Mr. Spassov has captivated Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle east, Australia, Canada and the USA. According to Newsweek magazine Mr.Spassov is one of the most talented East European musicians who "... is not merely surviving the post- communist cultural wasteland but has actually invented a new musical genre."
