The oldest musical instrument used on the territory of our country proved to be the whistle that is certified in the Neolithic. This instrument, perfected, of course, has been used at parties as an orchestra until today. The whistle has been the musical instrument that accompanied everywhere  shepherds.

Each whistler has a personal song composed by him that defines him in the world of whistlers. Some, more talented, have written more songs. The music for dances composed by the whistlers is locally called "jiana", after the names of the "jeni”. Each whistler is a composer. These words of the whistlers are known and recognized by all the whistlers and learned to be reproduced. They could be played on demand by any of the whistle singers when the owner was not present and someone wanted to dance on his song.
