Hello! Today's album was just shipped to me from Kazakhstan - and man is it a good one! For ages I've been looking for albums containing "dombra" - a two stringed central asian lute native to Kazakhstan = but to no avail. That is, until I found someone on discogs selling a few of these records! This is my current favourite in the stack - particularly track A1 - "Ak Bulak". Sybanov is a Kazakh actor and composer, receiving the title of honored artist of Kazakhstan in 1987. I was unable to find much information on this, but Kazakh wikipedia suggests that he's no longer around. His style of playing is incredible, apparently having played from age 13, and it really shows in this album. Hope you enjoy it!
Special thanks to Ilya Savchenko for supplying the album!
