The Kyrgyz duo Jan Yrgagy performed at the 2004 Lotus World Music and
Arts Festival in Bloomington September 18 and 19. Nurak Abdyrakhmanov
and Bakyt Chytyrbaev began to play together in the early ’90s, in the
wake of a national cultural revival in Kyrgyzstan after the collapse of the
Soviet Union. Nurak, a master of the
komuz (lute) and Bakyt, a master of the
kyl kyjak (two-stringed fiddle), perform
songs and melodies that recall nomadic
life on the steppes and in the mountains
of Siberia and Central Asia. Their per-
formance was made possible by support
from the Inner Asian and Uralic National
Resource Center and the Office of
International Programs. (Photos courtesy
