"Домбыра" is a folk song originally written and sung in the Nogai language by the folk musician and poet Arslan Sultanbekov. The Dombra is a stringed, long-necked instrument, which has been used by numerous tribes, especially the Nogai and Crimean Tatars for centuries, and features as the centrepiece of the song. The Nogai themselves are an ethnic group primarily found in the North Caucasus. Historically nomadic pastoralists, they were notable during the era of the Turkic-Mongol states.
