One instrument all regions have in common is the fujara, a high shepherd pipe. The fujara carries a strong resemblance to the look of the Australian didgeridoo and sounds like a combination of a didgeridoo and a pan flute. This sound adds a touch of mystique to traditional Slovak music and makes it ideal for relaxation and meditation.

Slovakia had a great influence on Jazz music and the Blues in the 1950's and some of this influence can still be heard in modern Slovak music today.
