Renowned Bulgarian kaval player Nedyalko Nedyalkov took part in the concert programme presented in the biggest refugee camp in Europe near Calais, France. The idea belongs to Jordi Savall, Spanish conductor, viola da gamba player and composer who gained world renown with his interest in medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music.
“There are 3,500 - 5,000 refugees, coming from different countries living in the “Calais jungle,” Nedyalko says. “We first went round the camp which is divided up into different sectors. We met and talked to people. Then we played under a canopy - the place the refugees have their meals. Of course, music transforms the atmosphere completely, but I can't stop thinking about these people - such a sad story.”
Each one of the soloists performed pieces from their own national culture. Nedyalko Nedyalkov played two of his own folk-based compositions which he has not even recorded yet.
