About Kobyz:
This instrument's lot has been a hard one. Kobyz can be named as an original carrier of ethnic history of the Kazaks presented by the epic literature and instrumental music. However, this did not protect it from persecutions. Initially, kobyz was the instrument of shamans (baqsy), and it was this circumstance that became a convenient reason for withdrawing it from the new built civilized world "as a vestige of the dark past", and thus "condemning it to disappearance.

  • What is the name of the 2nd song ? I like it.

  • @IdelUralState see below, dkzh has already answered your question

  • This music is utterly magical. Where is it from? Who plays and sings it? Is it on a CD?

  • You're particularly right...Traditionally kobyzes were sacred instruments, owned by shamans and baksy's (traditional spiritual medics). According to legends, the kobyz and its music could banish evil spirits, sicknesses and death. It is from Qazaqstan. Songs name is ak-bayn (see it on my video description) Authors - Zhappas Kalambayev & Daulet Myktybayev.

  • @gipcambero Turkic branch belongs to Altaic linguistic family (within Mongol, Manchu-Tungus, Korean and Japonic)

  • To which linguistic family belong Turkish languages ??

  • well, Golden horde was strong at that time, even Russians were in fear. Europeans (barbarians) are lucky because they were not as rich as central asia and middle east at those times. thats why nomads didn't go to your places. otherwise they would conquer your lands.

  • All Turkic People are brothers. Don't forget that.

  • Хутка! Soon! Bientôt! Pronto! Presto! Bald! Yakında! Незабаром! Скоро!
