Abstract
In the last third of the XXth century, traditional Kazakh musical instruments acquired a new sound. Folk music of Kazakhstan has been enriched by a wide variety of musical styles based on traditional folk music. The young generation is of great interest to performers with new technical capabilities. Traditional instruments are experiencing a second wave of reconstruction, electric musical instruments (electric dombyra, electric sherter, electric kobyz, etc.) appear, thereby a new performing tradition is born in the mass musical culture of Kazakhstan. Musicians-performers use new compositional techniques, introduce electronic patterns, etc., maintaining connection with national traditions of Kazakh folklore. Kazakh festivals provide an unprecedented opportunities to demonstrate their musical products to musicians and promoters, which is especially important for attracting a diverse audience to the revived repertoire.
