What is the musical style of Kazakhs?
According to tradition, Kazakh folk music can be divided into two categories: "Kuiyi" and "An". The so-called instrumental music, "An" is a song. Kuiyi is mainly played by Dong Bula. Generally speaking, these songs are single small songs, and there are also some divertimentos played by several songs. An (song) can be divided into several categories according to its content and singing occasion. Musically speaking, Ann is generally short, with beautiful tunes and easy catchiness. Kazakhs are a nation that can sing. In people's life, from the birth songs sung by babies to the funeral songs and elegies they sing when they die, as well as all activities such as labor and love, they never sing. There is a folk singer "Akon" who plays Dongbula, rides a horse and sings for the people everywhere. The Akon Playing and Singing Club is held every year. At that time, singers gathered, singing and horse racing were very lively. Differences: From the content, Uygur folk songs include love, labor (reflecting the labor of agriculture and animal husbandry), history, life and customs. As far as music style and characteristics are concerned, it can be divided into two categories: one is lyric narrative, which is characterized by free rhythm, long breath and deep lyricism, and retains a strong pastoral temperament, mainly solo or performance; The other kind is song-and-dance folk songs, which are characterized by regular rhythm, distinct rhythm and full sense of dance, and often have a fixed rhythm from beginning to end, full of vitality and enthusiasm. Kazakh folk songs mainly reflect the labor life such as animal husbandry and hunting, and praise and miss hymns, love songs and folk songs in their hometown. There are five tones, six tones and seven tones in the modal scales of folk songs, with seven tones being more. Long-term nomadic life has made many Kazakh folk songs retain the characteristics of early pastoral songs: they like to use the calling sound as a lining at the beginning of the song, and the tune is lyrical.
