The origin of people of Kyrgyzstan is accompanied with the myth: according to it, the word "Kyrgyz" is made up of two words - "Kirk" and "Kyz", which means "forty" and "girl". Forty girls became pregnant because of drinking frothy water then gave birth to Kyrgyz.
Kyrgyz people are known for their taste for music. They divided their music into songs and kuu. Kuu is considered to be genre of all musical works of folk instruments. Komuz, kyyak, chopo choor are the most famous musical instruments.
A special part of the Kyrgyz folklore is the work of akyns and manaschi. Akyns are folk singers improvising and playing komuz or kyl-kyyak. Manaschi are the narrators of the epic Manas, not accompanied by the musical instrument. And during a tour you have an opportunity to listen to them.
