Čalgija is performed by ensembles called Čalgii (Чалгии) with instruments such as a dajre (tambourine) and tarabuka (hourglass drum) providing percussion for ut (lute), kanun (zither), clarinet and violin.[4]
Čalgija should not be confused with Chalga (a contemporary pop-folk dance music of Bulgaria).[5]
