about

Though in some ways the natural heir to this millennial tradition, RAUSHAN ORAZBAEVA has also been able to subvert it, since it is only recently that Kazakh women have been allowed in to study the kyl-kobiz. Thanks to her virtuosity and dedication, she has managed to renew the music of her homeland, adding to its traditionally shamanic and curative functions (protecting the newborn, preventing natural catastrophe etc) that of pure listening and appreciation for its own sake.
It’s no surprise then that among the pieces she has selected for this CD, RAUSHAN ORAZBAEVA has decided include several originally intended for the dombra, the two or three string lute which is the principal instrument of Kazakh music and which most families keep at home, a choice that testifies to her ability to transcend the limits of tradition through her own originality.

Yet none of this alters the fact that the whole CD remains steeped in the tradition of Kazakh culture. The experience of listening to these lovely melodies is akin to floating away on a mysterious musical journey of myriad different colours and shadings.
