An ancient fretted lute from Kazakhstan with a bright, percussive tone and meticulously detailed sampling. Chromatically sampled with up to 16x RR per note!ConceptWelcome to the third entry in our Plectra Series of deep-sampled plucked, picked, and strummed instruments from around the globe! The Kazakh Dombra is an ancient fretted lute with two strings and an integral part of traditional music from Kazakhstan. It is playable as a solo instrument, as part of an ensemble, or to accompany epic songs and poetry. To truly capture the authentic playing style of the dombra, our instrument was performed by Asset Abdrakhmanov in Almaty, Kazakhstan and recorded by Sergei Smorgov.Articulations in Plectra Series 3 include multiple types of pitch bend articulations that help reproduce the colorful range of timbres the dombra is capable of. These include mordents (single up-and-down bends), major and minor trills (repeating between two notes), and full neck slides from each note on each string. Standard sustains and muted playing are of course also available, along with true legato hammer-on and pull-off playing for authentic transitions between notes.This library is a fantastic tool for those looking to add an authentic East European / Russian sound to their arsenal. From chase scenes to underscore, virtuosic solo parts, or layering with other sounds of the region, we think you will find the textures of this instrument to be very musical and inspiring!InterfaceThe dombra has a bright, percussive tone with a quick decay, making it ideal for very quick playing; to facilitate this, we sampled the instrument with up to 16x RR (8x up/8x down) per chromatic note on both strings. Along with useful features like an octave of unpitched quick strums and 'repetition triggers' that allow for extremely fast live parts, this is our first library to feature flexible velocity mapping AND keyswitching. You can easily enable or disable any articulation, change their velocity range, or assign custom notes to toggle them on or off!Content• Deep-sampled two-stringed lute• Up to 16x RR per note (8x up/8x down)• Intimate close-miced sound• Sustains, trills, mordents, tremolo• Mutes, hammer-ons, slides

Limited-edition LP with full-size insert of text and photographs by compiler Laurent Jeanneau. Xinjiang (Eastern Turkestan) is China's biggest province. The musical landscape here is one of the world's richest. The Uyghur and the Kazakh are the two main ethnicities represented on these recordings made by Laurent Jeanneau and Shi Tanding in June of 2009. The Kazakh (nomadic) and Uyghur (agricultural) have multiple linguistic ties. Much of this music shares many influences from the Arab world, Tur

This is a first-hand account of the genocide of the Kazakh nomads in the 1920s and 30s. Nominally Muslim, the Kazakhs and their culture owed as much to shamanism and paganism as they did to Islam. Their ancient traditions and economy depended on the breeding and herding of stock across the vast steppes of central Asia, and their independent, nomadic way of life was anathema to the Soviets. Seven-year-old Shayakhmetov and his mother and sisters were left to fend for themselves after his father was branded a "kulak" (well-off peasant and thus class enemy), stripped of his possessions, and sent to a prison camp where he died. In the following years the family traveled thousands of miles across Kazakhstan by foot, surviving on the charity of relatives. Told with dignity and detachment, this central Asian Wild Swans awakens the reader to the scale of suffering of millions of Kazakhs, and also astonishes and inspires as a most singular survivor's tale.

An overview of the Kazakh traditional archery, which is little known among the modern historical weaponology specialists. Kazakh art of making and shooting the horsebow, Sadaqshiliq, is a part of the Asiatic horseback archery family. Kazakh horsebows of all known types mostly belong to the recurve biocomposite (horn-and-sinew) horsebows. They are similar to Ottoman Turkish and Mongol-Manchu horsebows. The Kazakhs are the direct descendants of the Turkic, Kipchak, and Mongol nomads, particularly the Eastern Golden Horde and Chagatai Ulus. Kazakh Khanate was the last large nomadic state with traditional nomadic economy and old Khan/nobility institutions. Even in the 19th century the Kazakhs still actively deployed the light horseback archers in their militia and armies. Although firearms were introduced to the Kazakhs as early as 17th century, for about 300 years the guns didn’t replace the traditional bow and arrows, but complemented it as part of the distance weapon complex. The Kazakhs lived in the Great Central Asian Steppes (Eurasian Steppes) from Altai Mountains to the Caspian Sea, and had scarce access to urban technologies and manufacturing capacities, and had poor armor. The Kazakhs’ enemies were mostly well-equipped armies of neighboring settled nations. Therefore the Kazakhs had to develop their own type of the medieval cavalry: light, mostly unarmored horseback archers, also armed with lances, spears, blunt weapons and sabers, and capable of skirmishes and melee fighting. This type of cavalry usually engaged in guerilla-like wars, and proven to be successful over a few centuries. It was later adopted by Bashkirs, Kalmyks, Turkmens, and even the Russian Cossacks.
