Zhivko Vasilev

Zhivko Vasilev is one of the most popular Bulgarian musicians and kaval players in the world. He is well known for his experiments with this woodwind instrument and the constant seeking for unexplored paths in kaval music. Thanks to his experimental spirit he is constantly driven to combine traditional kaval sound with different western styles such as jazz, funk, latin, latin jazz, pop, electronic music and many more. The result of this incredible symbiosis is an exotic and unique style that he constantly improves. The Kaval is his favourite music instrument and with it, he could best express his musical ideas and easily mix the typical sounds of the Balkans with some modern and innovative music sounds. 
Zhivko is not only a music composer and player but is also giving kaval lessons both to beginners and more advanced international students who would like to learn how to play the Bulgarian kaval.
