Macedonian traditional music (starogradska muzika) performed by the orchestra "Čalgii" - solists on the clarinet: A. Gelevski and Tale Ognenovski - Čalgija (Macedonian language: Чалгија) is a subgenre of the old urban traditional folk music (starogradska muzika) of the Republic of Macedonia. Čalgija is an old part of the whole Macedonian folklore art (this includes the rural folkore as well) and it should not be confused with "chalga" (a contemporary Turbofolk music style in neighbouring Serbia and Bulgaria)
