AmbroseBierce (Ripper & Uploader) Turkmenistan - La musique des bakhshy / The Music Of The Bakhshy VDE-GALLO VDE-651, 1991
Turkmenistan is one of the republics in Central Asia belonging to Russia.Their music is mainly from Turkish and Iranian origin, although there are many other influences. It is mainly a vocal music, sung by men, the bakhshy, who accompany themselves with a lute, the dutâr, and/or a fiddle (the ghidjak). They also use in instrumental music a flute (the garghy tüydük), a kind of clarinet (the dilli tüydük), and a Jew's harp (the qopuz). They sing for all kinds of important events and ceremonies, such as weddings, the birth of a child, the circumcision of boys, boys' first haircut, and so on. The only time music is not used is for death. In Turkmenistan, the term "bakhshy" is of Mongolian origin and designates the singer, the musician, and the storyteller, and they are professionals with a particular status; their training can last more than ten years. This CD gives the listener an excellent overview of the diversity and quality of this very particular music. ~ Bruno Deschênes
