       The Korkyt ethno-ensemble was organized in November 2015. The artistic tasks of the group include the popularization of traditional music of Kazakhstan. The uniqueness of the collective lies in the fact that each of its artists owns not one, but several instruments. Thanks to this universalism, “Korkyt” can perform folk music with any composition. The band’s musicians not only play several instruments – many of them possess a rare technique of throat singing.

         In February 2020, “Korkyt” entered the Guinness Book of Records of Kazakhstan, giving the longest concert in the history of Independent Kazakhstan: the ethno-ensemble performed 75 compositions non-stop.

         The artistic director of the group is a cultural figure Sholpan Korganbek.
