Track Introduction:

The Kazakh people are truly a horse race. Two thousand years ago, the Ili horses they raised were known as "heavenly horses". Year after year, they drove cattle and sheep, chased water and grass, galloped on the pasture, drank horses under the Tianshan Mountains, and horses were like medals of honor for them. Song and horse were their wings galloping on the grassland, and the two were almost integrated.

The resounding winter horse is like a precarious horse hoof, and in the midst of its plucking, a galloping horse rushes across the grassland. The ancient spirit lowering instrument Kubuzi is shaped like a swan, with only one ponytail string. The melody played by the pull is like the gentle undulations of the grassland, as well as the undulations of a horse's back. The Sazisel is the sound of a bowstring, and the seven ponytail strings of a zither are as melodious as a horseshoe bell or the sound of a river drinking horses. This song 'Quotas Basar' is so passionate and enthusiastic that it makes people forget their emotions. The galloping of horses raises smoke like dust, the galloping of riders, the rushing wind, and the endless stretching of mountains and rivers like paintings. There is also the most outstanding horse that stands out, its posture is so dazzling that it is hard to move one's eyes. And the simple and repetitive singing, like a natural flow from Kubuz's musical phrases, seems like language is not enough to express emotions. The throat is the last strong instrument added, using this simplest intuitive voice to respond, praise, extend and recite this beauty.
