The aim of the Theater is to retain, develop and popularize Kyrgyz folk heritage in the world. The originality of the Theater lies in the fact that the occupation of folk music has become not simply enthusiasm, but a deep study of the spiritual culture of Kyrgyz people. Meeting with the bearers of folk traditions, the Theater artists have managed to recreate the ancient dances "Bakshy-Biy" and "Shyrdak-Biy", which reminded forgotten until recently. The artists have considered every aspect of the songs and dances: in recreating the detailed of national costume, manner of motion and symbolism of gestures. With the aid of these factors they have succeeded in recreating a realistic ethnographical picture with the unique atmosphere of "truthfulness".

Ordo Sakhna is a folk ethnographic theatre that was started in 1998 with the aim of introducing and popularizing the great nomad civilization of Central Asia from paganism to Islam among the audiences worldwide. We promote the diversity, beauty and diapason of ancient musical instruments and the authentic nomad dress style while staging traditional Kyrgyz music and dance, as well as modern ballet and fashion shows. The music that Ordo Sakhna has been playing and recording possesses truly transcendental and healing quality probably in addition to or perhaps due to its ancient roots, especially compositions Ordo, Tush (Dream), Chogoino, Kyiak recorded in the Music of the Legends CD as well as Oemur (Life) recorded in the Song of Nomad CD.

The folk ethnographic theater “Ordo-Sakhna” was created in 1999 and combined a group of professional musicians – graduates of the conservatory and laureates of international and regional contests. The theater is directed by film director Shamil Djaparov. The aim of the theater is to retain, develop, and popularize Kyrgyz folk heritage around the world. The originality of the Theater lies in the fact that the members’ perception of folklore is not simple enthusiasm, but a deep study of the spiritual culture of the Kyrgyz people. Meeting with the bearers of folk traditions, the artists of the Theater have managed to recreate the ancient dances “Bakshy-Biy” and “Shyrdak-Biy,” which were forgotten until recently. “Ordo-Sakhna” has gathered an exclusive collection of ancient traditional melodies and dastans (small epos), which came to us through centuries of generations. Through careful searching and experiments the musicians adapted the ancient heritage to modern society. The artists have considered every aspect of the songs and dances: detailed recreations of traditional costumes, mannerisms of motion and symbolism of gestures. With the aid of these factors they have succeeded in recreating a realistic and honest ethnographical picture of Kyrgyz culture. In 2004 year was created a social cultural educational foundation “Ordo-Sakhna” named after the artist of Kyrgyz Republic M. Nazaraliev. M. Nazaraliev – was the creator of Kyrgyz drama Music Theater. Since 1999 the Theater has recorded three CDs: The Music of the Legends in 2000, Song of Nomad in 2001 and The Flame Horses in 2007. The repertoire of the Theater is designed for a wide audience and its music ranges from the ancient archaic melodies (kuu) to folk-jazz. The Theater was broadcasted to the Kyrgyz population on national television in a TV program called Toguz-Ak.

Featuring one of the best classical music masterpieces from composers of Azerbaijan and traditional azeri mugham improvisations.

 

  

Kamancha plays an important role in Azerbaijani folk ensemble as a violin does in a symphonic orchestra. This instrument played with a bow is widespread amongst Eastern and Central Asian peoples under variety of names.


The earlier Kamanchas found in Azerbaijan were made of pumpkin and the wood of nutmeg and decorated with ivory. The one stringed and two stringed kamanchas are thought to be descendents of the ancient Azerbaijani instrument, Gopuz played with a bow.


Kamancha also appears in medieval Azerbaijani literature as well as traditional miniatures. One of the most famous members of the 16th century Tabriz school of miniature, Mir Saeed Ali depicts Kamancha among other instruments in his miniatures.


The medieval musical analyst, Abdul Qadir Maraghai has specifically mentioned Kamancha among other instruments of the period.


Nizami Ganjavi has mentioned Kamancha in his famous epic of "Khosrov and Shirin".


Kamancha reached its highest level of popularity in 19th century, connected with development of Azerbaijan's khanande art (modal improvizations by folk singers).

The Voice of Kyrgyzstan:

Salamat Sadikova is the favorite traditional singer of the Kyrgyz people. Her robust voice, capable of holding notes for a seemingly superhuman duration, brings an earthy dignity to old folk songs and contemporary folk-style compositions. Here are the first recordings of Salamat Sadikova to appear in the West. On 17 songs, she accompanies herself on komuz (three-stringed Kyrgyz lute). On two others, she is accompanied by the orchestra of the Kyrgyzstan's national folk music ensemble, Kambarkan. This 72-minute CD is augmented by an illustrated 16-page booklet with an artist biography and song translations.

   "Astonishing" was Grammy-winning roots music producer and historian Lawrence Cohn's initial one-word reaction to these recordings. "Salamat doesn't sound exactly like anyone I've heard, but she reminds me of some great ladies. I once had the opportunity to hear the legendary fadista, Amalia Rodrigues, perform in Paris. I also produced a reissue series of the complete recordings of [classic blues diva] Bessie Smith. All completely different singers, of course, but for power, soulfulness, and sensuality, this woman from Kyrgyzstan is a kindred spirit to them."

Ay nuru ('Moonlight' - traditional)

Moonlight falls upon us
My silver one, make my heart happy.
Let us value and cherish
The young life ahead of us!

Sunlight falls upon us
My golden one, make my heart happy.
Let us turn the young life
Ahead of us into flowers!

 

...

 

“Enjoy your life while you still have your petals, 
Don't let suffering spread in your body. 
Don’t exhaust the voice of the nightingale 
Singing beautifully in the garden.”
   

- from the traditional song “Qïzïl gül (Red Flower)” as sung by Salamat Sadikova

  Kyrgyz instrumental music is called küü. For the Kyrgyz, a lack of lyrics does not imply an absence of a narrative, be it heroic, tragic, or comic. At all times, its theme should be clear to listeners. In Kyrgyz Instrumental Music (Society for Asian Music, New York, 1969), Mark Slobin notes of the music's programmatic nature:

   "This basically involves the existence of a story line for each instrumental piece, either so well known to the audience as to need no announcement or specially provided for listeners by the performer through a verbal introduction."

'Kyrgyz Native Instruments' stamp "Kyrgyz Native Instruments"

Stamp from final year of USSR.
Note Russified komuz with frets.

   Flamboyant gestures on the part of the performer may accentuate aspects of the tune's implied story. Kyrgyz instrumental performance tends to be an extrovert's art form, and visual tricks, such as playing the komuz over one's shoulder or between one's knees, are common practice. In the komuz repertoire especially (though not exclusively), the Kyrgyz have developed a genre which demands of its performers a high level of virtuosic skill on a seemingly primitive instrument. Indeed, it might be said in general of Kyrgyz instrumental music that the frequently remarkable musical ends seem contrary to the apparently rudimentary instrumental means.
