Reading.
Ulytau
In 2001, the band Ulytau was created with the idea of bringing traditional Kazakh music to a new generation. Their music is a mixture of traditional and modern, of classical and rock, and of Eastern and Western. The name Ulytau is taken from the district of Ulytau in central Kazakhstan, and means 'the great mountain'.
The members of the band play six instruments: keyboard, drums, bass guitar, guitar, violin and the traditional Kazakh dombra. The dombra is considered an important part of Kazakh culture and a reminder of traditional nomadic life. Many Kazakh epic poems were written for the dombra, and much of Kazakhstan's musical culture was developed by dombra musicians. Ulytau's music helps keep this important part of Kazakh history alive and brings the art of dombra-playing to a younger audience.
The band is based in the city of Almaty, and they released their first album, called Two Warriors, in 2006. The opening song, 'Adai', which is based on a piece of music by Kazakh composer Kurmangazy Sagyrbayuly, won a Golden Disc award.
Ulytau's music relies on classical, metal and folk music. They work with musical arrangements by well-known Kazakh and foreign composers, including Kurmangazy as well as Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart. Their success has not been limited to Kazakhstan; they have played on tour in America and in various countries across Asia and Europe, appearing at many large festivals and concerts with some of the biggest bands in the world. The group believe that, as their international reputation grows, they can bring Kazakh national culture and music to the world.
