АЛА-TOO КҮҮЛѲРҮ 1/ MEЛOДИИ АЛА-TOO 1
ALA-TOO MELODIES 1
Melodiya, 1984, M90 46031-32
This is the first album of a serie of five LPs about Kyrgyz folk music recorded between 1930 and 1980.
Once again I got a loan of it from a cultural center in Paris and this copy is different from what I found on the web. Here there is only one disc while the other issue has two discs per album. Again one track (A10 : ''oy oy'') mentionned in the notes is missing in my copy. Side 1 is about ''folk music'' with soloists playing komuz, choor, surnay, jew's harp, kyak with some singing. Side 2 focuses on ''masters of folk music'' meaning musicians who are also composers. Some of them play their own pieces like Ibray Tumanov, or Musa Baetov while other compositions are played by instrumental bands or other soloists.
It is difficult to know what ''ala-too'' refers to : it is the name of a range of mountains but also of a square in Bichkek the capital of Kyrgyzstan. It could be something else though...

ReplyDeleteAlatau Kaz.or Ala-Too Kyrgyz. (Turk. “Motley mountains”, the name is due to the fact that in summer these mountains have a “skewbald” color, partly white due to snow, partly dark in snowless areas. The mountains are also one of the main attractions of Kazakhstan.
