ALDASPAN. Сүгірдің термесі. Live

🔥🔥🔥 Unique Qazaq Rock Band plays music on electro version of dombra. The band was founded by Nurzhan Toishy.

... a little from the official site of the group:
______________________________
It all started when....
End of 80-ies… Nurzhan Toishy (by that time he was Nurzhan Toichiev) was attending secondary school number 120 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. When he was a seventh-grader he was "infected" with heavy metal music his classmates listened to.

Listening to the guitar-heavy and speedy riffs of James Hatfield, Kerry King, Max Cavalera he recognized some techniques that Kazakh musicians use for centuries playing kui (a national instrumental genre of music) on our national instrument Dombyra. Those places in their music excited and used to give incredible energy to listeners and caused a blast of emotions.

It was easy for him to understand the similarity of heavy metal riffs and techniques of kuis of Kazakh people owing to dombra classes he took by the moment. He was attending Zhubanov's musical secondary school (Almaty, Kazakhstan) as an outside attendee...

However, it was then...There was a lack of opportunities. Those days you could not find spare parts, technology, schemes, there was no shop making electric guitars. At last no money. The idea became a standby option to Nurzhan...for more than 20 years.

21 years past. The year 2009. By that time USSR already collapsed, the iron curtain was broken, the market economy started its weak motion and develops to the extent we have now in CIS. So there is actually a great opportunity to realize the idea of electric dombra.

Being in Moscow for his business trip he found there a guitar shop that sold different spare parts for electric guitars. He purchased all the needed details for a piece. Then after the trip, he met Mr. Murat Kubekov, who was the chief tuner of Kazakh State Conservatory in Almaty, Kazakhstan. He suggested making an experimental sample of electric dombra according to Nurzhan's design to Mr. Kubekov. Mr. Murat Kubekov was surprised by the idea and agreed to accept the order (the conservatory had different acoustic dombra shops under his supervision). The first electric dombra was made then...

Without hesitation, Nurzhan chose heavy metal as a genre for this project in order to meet his childhood dream and ultimately reveal unknown sides of the instruments in use.

So we have a whole set of instruments: solo, rhythm, bass, and drums! Classic!

We know that one can not surprise the world with guitar playing in a band, especially playing rock stuff. There are so many tough groups in the world playing excellent music. There are many unique famous guitarists in the world, but you cannot say so about dombra players-they are very new to the globe and actually rare. They exist only in CIS countries and neighboring countries where Kipchak people live. So this is what makes the electric dombra project different from the guitar project:

It appears only in 21 century as a brand new instrument while the electric guitar exists starting from the last century.
...
The name of the group became Aldaspan. It is a Kazakh word for a heavy kind of saber used against armored soldiers and cavalry.

Kôp rahmet - beinebayannyñ sapasy kushti, ãnshiler men muzyka artisterdiñ ôneri - keremet!

Бұл конференцияға қатысушыларға арналған тікелей эфирдегі бейнеден әлдеқайда жақсы. Дыбыс сапасы әлдеқайда жақсы, бұл әнді жасауға көмектеседі. Бұл әннің нұсқалары үшін KeshYou жасағаннан баяу қарқын, бірақ мен бұл әннің KeshYou-ден әлдеқайда ескі екенін білдім! Екі түрлі стиль, бірақ екеуі де өте жақсы. Қазақстанды және сіздің еліңіз бен оның халқын ойлайтын және Қазақстанда Бораттан да көп нәрсе бар екенін білетін әлемді тербете беріңіз! (This is a lot better than the video of the live performance for the conference attendees. The sound quality is a lot better which really helps to make the song. It is a slower tempo than what KeshYou did for their versions of this song, but I have since learned that this song is a lot older than KeshYou! Two different styles but both are very good. Keep on rocking Kazakhstan and the rest of the world that cares about your country and its people and knows that there is more to Kazakhstan than just Borat!)
