00:00Kazakh music is a fusion of old and new.
00:07Today, this magical mix of traditional nomadic sound with modern influences
00:12is captivating audiences far beyond the country's borders.
00:31Almaty is home to a vibrant music scene full of talented artists.
00:42Groups like the Magic of Nomads.
00:45The band blends classical Kazakh instruments with the deep guttural technique of throat singing.
00:53The result is a mesmerizing jazz-folk fusion.
01:00The band performs live in the city of Almaty.
01:15We are inspired by jazz music and Kazakh folk music.
01:19We don't use traditional music in its pure form.
01:24We present it in a progressive way, as we feel it in our modern perception.
01:36Initially, our goal was to promote Kazakh music in any part of the world.
01:41We did this kind of processing in an international language.
01:46And we think that this goal has been achieved.
01:55Try like this for me.
02:10I think we'll be here some time. Maybe I should stick to the day job.
02:13Maybe, yeah.
02:14Thank you so much.
02:17The Magic of Nomads has played an instrumental role in propelling Kazakh music
02:21onto the global stage.
02:24But the band is not alone in its mission to share the sounds of Kazakhstan
02:28with the rest of the world.
02:35Ethno-folk group Hasak is also making waves.
02:40Their distinct sound shows how Kazakh music is a bridge,
02:44not just between the past and the present, but also between East and West.
03:09Today, we are performing for the audience,
03:12but we are also performing for the audience as a mix.
03:15We want to present our music to the world.
03:27The Magic of Nomads and Hasak are unique in their own right,
03:30but they share something in common, a deep connection to their nomadic roots.
03:36Another artist reshaping Kazakhstan's music scene is Dude on the Guitar.
03:47This multifaceted musician blends languages and genres,
03:51including rap, hip-hop and traditional Kazakh poems known as aytis.
04:05My goal is to preserve this tradition and pass it on to the next generation.
04:18Kazakh music is a mixture of history and nature,
04:22full of emotions and melancholy.
04:26I hope that our music will inspire the world
04:31and inspire the next generation.
04:39Like the Magic of Nomads and Hasak, Dude on the Guitar is part of a bold new wave,
04:44redefining the nation's music and the way the world sees it.
