Domažlice Bagpipe Band has been among the leading ensembles performing various styles of bagpipe (dudy) music of the Chod region for more than fifteen years. The long-time endeavor of the Domažlice Bagpipe Band has been to perform the original folk music from the region of Chodsko. Various songbooks and anthologies collected during the nineteenth century by folk culture revivalists, primarily Jindřich Jindřich, serve as sources and inspiration for the band’s arrangements.
