Kaba (Albanian music)

Kaba is an Albanian music genre, a folk instrumental expression of the Albanian Iso-Polyphony, which is recognized as cultural heritage by UNESCO.^[1]^[2]

The Albanian kaba is performed with a soloist playing the clarinet or violin, accompanied by the instrumental ensembles called saze playing lla(h)uta (saz or lute) and other instruments. The musical features of the kaba vary according to the ethnocultural and musical regions of southern Albania.^[3]
