RECOVERY OF NATIONAL MUSIC ART IN KARAKALPAKSTAN
Keywords
music, national flavor, tradition, mode, rhythm, timbre, genre, folklore ensemble "Mukhalles"
Abstract
This article discusses the foundation of traditional Karakalpak music, which is monody. It is characterized by the oral nature of existence (transmitted from mentor to student over centuries) and variability. It manifests in two main forms: as an integral part of oral folk poetic creativity and as an independent art form. The vocal principle prevails. Instrumental performance is developed on national musical instruments such as the kobyz, dutar, girjek, shinkobyz (which is widely used among women), nay, balaman, and others, but it has not acquired the independent significance observed in Uzbek and Tajik musical culture.
