Sounds of nomadic Altay Kazakhs

  • Resumen

  • In Altay, Xinjiang, China, Kazakhs have lived here for hundreds of years and still maintain a nomadic lifestyle that follows the seasons. However, the process of modernization and development is changing their traditions, customs and even language.

    The younger generation is unwilling to continue the hard nomadic life, and the older generation who are gradually aging may be the last generation of nomadic Kazakhs. From now on, we will probably only be able to see the nomadic transition performances at the visitor centre.

    That's what I'm trying to keep - those sounds for the next generations. This is the second time I've spent days living with the herders in the deep mountain of Altay. In this track, we can hear the herders talking and busy footsteps of the sheep on a rock and soil pass.

    Recorded by Yang Jie.
