Tattimbet Kazangapuly is a cult Kazakh kuishi. It was said that he used his dombra as a psychotherapeutic tool—with the help of soulful music, he could bring the listener out of severe depression. And sometimes, he played so fervently that even the horses began to dance. 

Today we will play all four of his kuis: Bylkyldak, Kosbasar, Sarzhalau, and Kokeikisti.

This podcast is based on the anthology Ancient Motifs of the Great Steppe, published by the Auezov Institute of Literature and Art, http://auezovinstitute.kz/
