Did you hear how a sopilka plays? If not, you can hear this in Transcarpathia. Go where the bright colors and wonderful sounds create a musical magic all their own. Among the rustling of the pines and gurgling of mountain streams, many musicians are born. Under sensitive fingers, not only violins, cymbali, and trembity play, but the leaf of the periwinkle and the skin of an ordinary fish also have a musical life in the musician's hands. But certainly the most unusual voice is that of the sopilka.
