Songs From the Steppes - Kazakh Music Today

Recorded mainly during a competition of traditional Kazakhstani musicians singing folk tunes and strumming the dombra or bowing the qyl-kobuz, this collection of many short pieces presents a good survey of the folk pieces of this large Central Asian nation, where the nomadic culture and the herding of horses, cattle, sheep, and camel still dominate. A few tracks were recorded with the Folk Ensemble of the Presidenital Orchestra. Additional instruments heard are the violin-like kobuz, a zhetygen zither, another lute called the sherter, a botton accordian, a flute, a jews' harp, and an ocarina
