Musical instruments of Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyz people are musical people and they have a great love to musical instruments which are of great development in the country. We would like to note that everything was going from generation to generation and some of skills are known just to peculiar families. The famous oral representation of the art of the Kyrgyz people is epic Manas. It was created in the 16-17th century and was recorded only in the 20th century. During tours in Kyrgyzstan you will see that the epic contains about 500,000 lines of text. Starting to travel in Kyrgyzstan cars for rent you can notice that your tour is fulfilled with various activities. In this case we see that manaschi make a representation of the epic under the accompaniment of musical instruments like komuz. And during your tour you can also listen to akyns who make an improvisation without accompaniment of musical instruments. Travel in Kyrgyzstan rented cars and you will have an opportunity to listen to musial instruments playing - temir-komuz, kyl-kyak, core, sorny, choor and zhetigen. We are glad to give advices about how to travel in Kyrgyzstan and hope you will enjoy our country.
