Bohuslav Pomikala

I play because music is a natural part of my life. Stop for a moment and listen.

About me

[A few words about me in my own words – coming soon.]

“The fujara is our cultural heritage. It is not only for traditional tunes – it can play almost anything.”

Bohuslav Pomikala

I play the fujara and other folk instruments – each one has its own voice.

[A few words about the fujara from Bohuš.]

Trembita
A long wooden shepherd's horn with no finger holes – notes are made with the lips alone. It carries far across the mountains.
Sample coming soon
Shepherd’s pipe
A small wooden pipe with finger holes – the simplest shepherd's instrument and where every beginner starts.
Sample coming soon
Shepherd’s whip
A shepherd's whip with a decorated handle. When cracked, its tip moves faster than sound – hence the sharp crack.
Sample coming soon
Harmonica
Harmonica – a small reed instrument played by breathing in and out. Its soft tone suits folk music.
Sample coming soon
Jaw harp (drumbľa)
Jaw harp – a metal frame with a springy reed held at the lips. The mouth is the sound box; its shape changes the tone.
