BISHKEK, KYRGYZSTAN TOUR! Бишкек Фрунзе Кыргызстан поездка!
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (Frunze, Kyrgyz SSR) is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited. The relaxed vibe, grand public squares, and eclectic cafes and restaurants combine to make Bishkek a unique destination.
Summertime is especially nice in Bishkek, when the majestic parks come alive with exotic trees and flowers. Lovers walk hand in hand while pensioners pass the time playing chess.
Imposing Soviet-era architecture is everywhere in Bishkek. While some of the locals may not appreciate it, buildings such as the National Historical Museum, Marriage Hall, Palace of Sport, and Philharmonic are all the more impressive when seen in person.
Kyrgyzstan's University system is centered in Bishkek, with many institutions of higher learning. Universities include the American University of Central Asia, Kyrgyz State National University, Kyrgyz Russian Slavonic University, International Ataturk-Ala-too University, International University Of Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyz Technical University, and Arabaev Kyrgyz State University.
As with any city, Bishkek is evolving. Cranes span the skyline as new construction takes place at a frantic pace. Imported cars are edging out Soviet era models as retro Lada's are replaced with newer Toyotas.
China's influence is apparent, with many Chinese firms investing in Bishkek. Consequently, a large Chinese population has emerged in the city.
Each time I return, I wonder what will change next. Although Bishkek's skyline is in a state of flux, the wonderful traditions and welcoming hospitality of the Kyrgyz people are sure to remain.

Toktogul Satilganov - Ming Kiyal (performed by The Chuy Chamber Orchestra)
Токтогул Сатылганов - Миң Кыял. The Chuy Chamber Orchestra's cover of Toktogul Satilganov's Ming Kiyal, conducted by Rahatbek Osmonaliev.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toktogul Satylganov (1864-1933), born in Kushchusu, Kyrgyzstan was the most famous of the Kyrgyz Akyns - improvising poets and singers. His fame reached a high point in the Soviet era when his works were promoted by the state as a musician of the people and he was known throughout Kyrgyzstan simply as Toktogul. This distinction was founded largely on his works in the pre-revolutionary era which were interpreted as reflecting the class struggle. Modern interpretations, however, suggest that they had more to do with clan rivalries. Despite this, he welcomed the revolution, writing What woman gave a birth to such a person like Lenin? in celebration. Even after the fall of the Soviet Union Toktogul's songs remain popular among Kyrgyz performers and many streets, parks, schools, and even his home town are named after him.
His gilded likeness greets you when you walk through the entrance of the Kyrgyz national music center, the Philharmonia, in Bishkek. His status as Kyrgyz cultural hero may be measured by the fact that both the village and the district into which he was born are now named for him. Despite the vast difference between life in the present-day Kyrgyz Republic and that in Czarist-era Russian Turkestan, many young Kyrgyz today can tell you something of Toktogul's life story, thanks to pre-Independence bio-pics. To an almost unparalleled degree, Toktogul Satilganov was a composer who met the Soviet mark for an exemplary 'people's artist.'
Toktogul's mother was a professional composer of laments (koshokchi). Reportedly a master komuz player (komuzchu) by the age of twelve, Toktogul was making a name for himself as a spontaneous topical composer-singer (akyn) just six years later. But his songs featured pointed criticisms of local beys and would earn him a dozen years of imprisonment and exile. While Soviet- era interpretation of Toktogul's czarist-era trouble-making songs depict him as a hero of class struggle, 'revisionist history' suggests it was more a reflection of Kyrgyz clan rivalries. The official viewpoint was voiced by Soviet musicologist Viktor M. Beliaev (Central Asian Music, Wesleyan University Press, Middletown, Conn.): ...the development in the pre-revolutionary period of a progressive democratic tendency in the area of the akyns' art reached a high revolutionary pathos in the works of Toktogul.
The near-canonization of Toktogul in the Soviet era reflects a shrewd understanding by the Russians of the akyn's important role as shaper of public opinion in traditional Kyrgyz society. Toktogul's `revolutionary pathos' was a propaganda windfall for the Soviets. If recent history has mooted the political value of his songs, the continued ubiquity of Toktogul's compositions among Kyrgyz traditional musicians and singers suggests that the qualities praised by A.V. Zataevich, the Russian transcriber of Toktogul's compositions--striking originality, subtle musicianship, breadth of phrasing and melodic freshness--still inspire. Toktogul's advice to his disciples: Serve eternal truth, akyn!

STORYLINE:
Kyrgyzstan's provisional leader Roza Otunbayeva was sworn in as president on Saturday, ushering in what the turbulent Central Asian nation's government hopes will be a new era of stability and democratic freedoms.
Speaking after her inauguration, Otunbayeva hailed what she described as a momentous new era for Kyrgyzstan, which has endured months of political and ethnic violence since former President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was deposed in a bloody uprising in April amid widespread anger over falling living standards and rampant corruption.
Over the course of her tenure as caretaker president, which lasts through to the end of 2011, Otunbayeva will oversee the implementation a newly adopted constitution.
The new founding law dilutes presidential powers in favour of a European-style parliamentary system and has raised hopes Kyrgyzstan could become former Soviet Central Asia's first true democracy.
In taking office as Kyrgyzstan's president, I swear an oath in front of my people...to defend sovereignty and independence of my country, provide respect and observation of rights and freedoms of all of Kyrgyzstan's citizens, work honestly and openly, with dignity and honour to serve as president to justify the trust and hopes of people, Otunbayeva said in a speech interrupted periodically by bouts of rhythmic clapping from the audience.
But before addressing some of her loftier ambitions, Otunbayeva will need to deal with the aftermath of ethnic clashes between majority ethnic Kyrgyz and the Uzbek minority last month, which left much of the southern city of Osh, Kyrgyzstan's second-largest, a smouldering ruin.
She promised that all those who lost their homes during the violence would be provided new housing before the onset of the cold weather.
The official death toll from the violence that tore apart Osh and nearby Jalal-Abad currently stands at around 300, although Otunbayeva has said as many as 2,000 people may have died in the rioting.
Most of the unrest involved mobs of ethnic Kyrgyz trashing and setting fire to ethnic Uzbek neighbourhoods, and some 400-thousand people were displaced.
Despite expressing her sorrow for the events, Otunbayeva has consistently stopped short of addressing the ethnic roots of the problems and the intercommunual tensions still plaguing the south.
Otunbayeva's inauguration as president marks a vital turning point for the interim government, which has been systemically weakened by a perceived lack of political legitimacy.

Ordo Sakhna
THE FOLK ETHNOGRAPHIC THEATER
BIOGRAPHY
The folk ethnographic theater Ordo Sakhna was created in 1999 and combined a group of
professional musicians graduates of the conservatory and laureates of international and regional
contests. The theater is directed by film director Shamil Djaparov.
The aim of the theater is to retain, develop, and popularize Kyrgyz folk heritage around the
world. The originality of the Theater lies in the fact that the members perception of folklore is not
simple enthusiasm, but a deep study of the spiritual culture of the Kyrgyz people. Meeting with the
bearers of folk traditions, the artists of the Theater have managed to recreate the ancient dances
BakshyBiy and ShyrdakBiy, which were forgotten until recently.
Ordo Sakhna has gathered an exclusive collection of ancient traditional melodies and dastans
(small epos), which came to us through centuries of generations. Through careful searching and
experiments the musicians adapted the ancient heritage to modern society.
The artists have considered every aspect of the songs and dances: detailed recreations of
traditional costumes, mannerisms of motion and symbolism of gestures. With the aid of these
factors they have succeeded in recreating a realistic and honest ethnographical picture of Kyrgyz
culture.
