Language(s) Kyrgyz
Composer: Ybrai Tumanov (1888-1967)
Performer: Namazbek Uraliev, komuz

Ybrai Tumanov composed “Kengesh” in the 1920s, at the dawn of the Soviet era, and dedicated it to the newly established Soviet government. According to Kyrgyz folklorist Raziya Syrdybaeva, the jaunty character of the küü illustrates the “people’s happiness about the new changes, and the hope of a better future.” Komuz player Namazbek Uraliev is not a regular member of the ensemble Tengir-Too, but with Nurlanbek Nyshanov, he teaches young musicians in the master-apprentice (Kyrgyz: ustat-shakirt) program established by the Aga Khan Music Initiative. He is also an outstanding luthier whose komuzes are much in demand in Kyrgyzstan.
