Kazakh traditional music is an essential part of the cultural heritage of Kazakhstan, characterized by its unique melodies and rhythms. It often features instruments like the dombra, a two-stringed lute, and the kobyz, a bowed instrument made from wood and horsehair. These instruments are used in various forms of music, including folk songs, epic poetry, and instrumental pieces. The themes of Kazakh traditional music often revolve around nature, love, and the nomadic lifestyle of the Kazakh people. Performers, known as akyns, improvise lyrics and melodies, showcasing their creativity and storytelling skills.
