ARKA

«Arka» is archaic and primal, reaching back to the memories of

the spirit of freedom in the Carpathian mountains, landscapes that

take your breath away and a place where every stone holds a

story.

The sound of the trembita echoes through small bells ringing in a

flock of sheep, and rain gathers, bringing storms and lightning to

the mountains. Would an old tree perfectly split in half by

lightning become a trembita, sounding in the hands of the Hutsul

folks signaling a birth, wedding, or the funeral of a hero?

Trembita is a type of an alpine horn made of wood. It was

common among Ukrainian highlander Hutsuls who live

in western Ukraine.
