Algirdas Klova

Algirdas Klova is a versatile composer and performer. An enthusiast of authentic Lithuanian folk music, playing fiddle and other instruments in his own folk groups, he is equally active in other genres bordering on folk music, such as country and world music. Besides, he is well-known as an author of jazz and pop compositions, as well as academic music; and the special flavour of old Lithuanian folk songs (particularly their unique polyphonic variety sutartinės) is often present in his diverse work. In festivals and concerts he is most often seen performing with the folk group Vydraga, which has been around for more than two decades.
