The three-string dombyra is a variation on the classic two-string dombyra. It was especially popular in the Chingistau kui tradition, which developed in the creative works of Abai Kunanbayev and his followers. 

Today, we will play a kui Tolgau by Zharkyn Shakarim, a folk kui Kabanbay, and ToryJorga, kui written by Abai.

This podcast is based on the anthology Ancient Motifs of the Great Steppe, published by the Auezov Institute of Literature and Art, http://auezovinstitute.kz/
