1,500 unique Kazakh musical pieces now available worldwide

Unique Kazakh musical works are now available all over the world. The largest platforms Apple Music, Spotify, Yandex Music, and YouTube Music feature 1,500 specially curated compositions as part of the Assyl Mura audio collection. Dedicated to the Kazakh nation’s rich song and folklore heritage, the collection includes traditional musical compositions called kuis and zhyr-terme, folk songs, works of composers, fairy tales, lullabies, and retro hits. The peculiarity of the audiobook lies in original recordings of the first performers, previously preserved by the State Television and Radio Corporation in its archive. Speaking at the presentation, State Counselor of Kazakhstan Erlan Karin noted that the collection’s release on international streaming services will give a new impetus to the popularization of national culture.

«Now, the fight for our national unity, independence, and values will take place in the digital space. Those who pass on their heritage, history, and culture will ensure the longevity of their people,» Karin said.
