-== Traditional Kazakh Music ==
+=== The Role of Music and Dance in Celebrations and Rituals ===
-Traditional Kazakh music is characterized by its use of stringed instruments, such as the dombra, a long-necked lute, and the kobyz, a horsehair fiddle. These instruments are often accompanied by percussion instruments, such as the kyl-kobyz, a two-stringed bow instrument, and the shankobyz, a hand-held drum. The two-stringed lute called the Dombyra is the main instrument in traditional Kazakh music. An important expression of Kazakh oral culture, it is used to accompany dances, Kazakh traditional folk instrument orchestra ensembles, the singing of oneself or professional singers (akyn). Kazakh traditional music is typically based on the pentatonic scale.
-Kazakh traditional songs are often narrative in nature, telling tales of love, heroism, or everyday life. The songs are sung either individually or in groups, with the audience often joining in. One of the most popular genres of traditional Kazakh music is the kuys, instrumental songs performed on the dombra or kobyz. Unlike other traditional Kazakh music, kuys do not have any lyrics and are purely instrumental.
+Music and dance play a pivotal role in various celebrations and rituals throughout the year. Here’s how they manifest in different contexts:

+* '''Nauryz (Наурыз):''' The spring equinox celebration where music and dance are performed to welcome the new year, symbolizing renewal.
-Traditional Kazakh dance is characterized by its gracefulness and elegance, as well as its connection to nature and nomadic life. Many traditional Kazakh dances imitate the movements of animals, such as the eagle and the horse, and are often performed in full traditional dress.
-One of the most popular traditional Kazakh dances is the kara zhorga, or "black crane," which is performed with slow, graceful motions reminiscent of a crane's movements. Another popular dance is the aytysh, a competitive dance-off between two male dancers vying for the attention of a female dancer. The dancers use a form of stylized martial arts, mixed with dance, to compete for the female dancer's attention.
+* '''Funerals:''' Traditional songs are sung to honor the deceased, providing comfort to the grieving family.
