Once upon a time...we used kemene also here in Romania...Now....we use just stupid occidental instruments like saxophone to play folklorical music....isn't that a shame???
@dreacul the kemene was found all over the areas of Europe where the ottomans occupied. western europe adapted it into a westernized version called the rebec. and the Ud of the Balkans and the Middle East became the Lute.
@dreacul We have the same problem in Macedonian music. though even worse, we are suffering a loss from the synthisizer. sometimes ONE FREAKIN synthisizer is basically the whole band. it is taking over the Gajda, Tambura and Zurla. I urge Macedonians to learn another instrument. Even a sax, clarinet or accordion.
Macedonian kemene (lyra) is alive and well on the Greek side of the border. Here is an example which is ethnographically very close to the playing in Pirin.
@mangoz69a Pontian kemence/kementse is a different instrument and a very different style to Macedonian, so I was really talking about the Macedonian style and how important it is for us to try and preserve it.
In Bulgaria, kemene was replaced in the 1970s by gadulka which was chosen for all State ensembles, so it was just about wiped out there.
See lebivino's channel on youtube, they have started a kemene preservation and education program in Pirin (Melnik, Sandansko).
@ Chetnik14 - Bratko, if you are talking about kemene, Jane & Elena (lebivino) from Melnik held a kemene symposium a few months ago where 14 old masters attended from R.Macedonia and Pirin. Unfortunately the Serres players invited could not attend. They had many videos of the kemene playing on youtube - but I see they have taken them down now.

Hercules makedonski patriot!
Alexander the great used to say that his ancestor was Hercules!
So, we the original makedonski patriot have connection to Slavic culture.
We are only only pure, real, original, makedonski.
We are not Slavic animals.
We are not relatives to Russians or to Boulgarians or to Slovenians
We descendent from Alexander makedonski
