Quoting Akbar:
What kind of nonsense are you writing: the tore are the rendered Chingizid Mongols? “Mongols of Genghis Khan” is nothing more than the name of the troops, a political term that unites the Turkic tribes of the Naimans, Kereis, Zhalairs, Konyrats, Kyyats, etc. the peoples living in felt yurts were henceforth called Mongols!"
At the time of Genghis Khan, an ethnos or tribe called "Mongol" did not physically exist, but the now well-known Mongolian ethnos (Khalkha-Mongols) and the Mongolian language developed only in the 17th century, through a mixture of Turkic-Tungus-Manchurian peoples. Stop screaming about Kazakh tribes Mongolian origin. Genghis Khan was made a Mongol by Soviet historians.
Oh, another Kazakh pseudo-historian has appeared. Yes, and with an Arabic nickname. In the 13th century Kazakh-Kipchaks were defeated by the Mongols and expelled from their lands of Desht-i-Kipchak. Then, in 1242, the Mongols accepted them into their newly created state of the "Golden Horde" as slaves and vassals. Leaving 4 thousand Mongols to rule the Golden Horde, the main army returned to Mongolia. The remaining Mongols were mainly from the Mongolian clans Mangut, Kungirat, Kireit, Kiyat. All this is described in historical primary sources. The Naimans were defeated by the Mongols even earlier in Mongolia and driven west to the Kipchak steppes. The Kireyites were also defeated by the Mongols and distributed among the Mongolian military units. Naimans and Kireyites are originally Mongolian tribes. They also have Mongolian ethnonyms. "Naiman" is the Mongolian numeral "eight", "khareit" - "crows".
The Kazakhs of the 6th century were ruled by the Mongol dynasty of Chingizids. In the middle of the 19th century the Russian authorities abolished the khan's power among the Kazakhs, thereby freeing the Kazakhs from the yoke of the Mongol ruling dynasty. Genetically, the Kazakh Chingizids did not come from Genghis Khan, but from the Merkit Chilgir. As you know, Borte, the first wife of Genghis Khan, conceived Jochi in captivity from Merkit from Chilgir. The Merkits are one of the Mongol tribes, also defeated by the Mongols and expelled from Mongolia.
The Khalkha Mongols are the descendants of the medieval Mongols of Genghis Khan. They conquered China and ruled there under the name of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. After the defeat from the Chinese, they returned to Mongolia and subsequently took the ethnonym "Khalkha-Mongols". Read the history of Mongolia. And read less of your pseudo-historians. They take advantage of your illiteracy and zombify you with false pseudo-scientific information. You need to know exactly the true history of your people. Do not make idols for yourselves from your conquerors. It looks stupid and funny. You still have not erected monuments to Kipchak Bachman and Kair Khan, the ruler of Otrar. This glorious sons the Kipchak people, active participants in the anti-Mongolian resistance, who died the death of heroes. The Mongols ruthlessly slaughtered the entire Kipchak aristocracy and instead stood at the head of the Kipchak-Kazakh people. And now such illiterate and ignorant people like you glorify their enslavers. IN Lately it has become almost widespread. The Kazakhs stubbornly refuse to know their true history and feed on pseudo-historical illusions. It's sad to see all this. You cannot build the future without knowing your true past.
Gennady Golovkin.
2014 turned out to be a very positive and emotional year for Kazakhstani sports fans. Our athletes showed high results in world class competitions.
So, Gennady Golovkin (1st place in the ranking, 81 points) had four fights, which he ended with knockouts, thereby securing the status of the best knockout among the reigning world champions. Denis Ten (8th month, 51 points) - pride figure skating Kazakhstan - became the bronze medalist of the Sochi Winter Olympics. The national weightlifting team became the third in the team standings in terms of the number of medals won at the World Championship, which was held in mid-November in Almaty. In total, 12 world records were set during the championship, three of which were held by Zulfiya Chinshanlo and Ilya Ilyin. (Unfortunately, our weightlifters have not yet been included in the rating, since the activity of participants from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014 was taken into account.)
As for the Kazakh show business market, the volume of which amounted to about $80-100 million, last year by and large did not define him. This market is still, in fact, a toy business, when domestic stars receive the bulk of their income (80-90%) through performances at private events, corporate parties, weddings, and now in casinos. It is not necessary to talk about artists' income from concert tours or album sales (their release is mainly of an image and representative nature) due to the small size of the market.
Nevertheless, we have a small number of artists who more or less successfully organize their concert performances, covering several cities within the tour with 100% occupancy of the halls. These are the performers (for example, Kairat Nurtas - 2nd place, 78 points, or the MuzArt group), target audience which is the Kazakh-speaking public. The rest, as a rule, cannot provide an average occupancy of more than 50%.
In general, interest in compositions on Kazakh language and the desire to consume music of their own production in Kazakhstan is growing. According to Gulvira Ilahunova, producer of the FM group, today there is only one Russian-speaking concert for every five or six performances of Kazakh-speaking artists.
The increase in demand is accompanied by the fact that the market standards, albeit slowly, are growing, despite the fact that for the most part the public does not think about the quality of text and music, the genre and style of this or that artist. The main thing is that the song should be incendiary. Therefore, the toy business will flourish in Kazakhstan for a long time, and there will be more and more artists who want to make money on it. Already today there are performers who record one hit song and a video for it, and as a result, they become very popular on toys (see the top 5 "Toy" hits). This means that it will be more and more difficult for such projects as Galymzhan Moldanazar and Tom Soir, performing songs in the style of indie rock, soul and synth-pop, to break into the local market.
Along with the increase in the quality of content, artists and their producers are becoming more ways promotion of creativity.
This year, the number of music TV channels has increased in our market. Along with the leader - MuzzOne started their broadcast Gakku TV, dedicated exclusively to Kazakh music ( general producer Timur Balymbetov), and MuzLife, which broadcasts domestic and foreign music (it was opened by music and television producer Eric Tastembekov).
The director of the MuzzOne TV channel, Adylzhan Sadykov, explains such activity by the fact that after the change of format by the Hit TV channel, a free niche has formed, which new participants are striving to fill. And Sanjar Mustafin, the founder of Gakku Media, justifies the launch of these projects by two reasons: either the need for space for the rotation of subsidiaries (in the case of large production centers or media structures), or an excess of money supply (then this is an oligarchic whim). “In our case, the project is exclusively “industrial”. We studied the market, assessed the potential of each existing niche and launched a project that is most convenient for us in terms of business model and important in cultural and sociological terms,” he emphasizes.
At the same time, the experts interviewed by Forbes Kazakhstan found it difficult to say for what volume of the market the players are fighting for today, since "it is impossible to assess the market that is just being formed." “In fact, it is divided into two parts: in one, multi-profile channels fight (foreign music, entertainment programs etc.), while in the other we modestly try to raise our heads. But if the first party is able to raise money in the field of the entire entertainment sector of TV, then we are focused specifically on the music and only domestic material, Mustafin explains. “The criteria for selecting content in this niche are harsh, therefore, it is more difficult to get the required amount of content.”
This market, according to the participants, can still be replenished with players, but only those that will be format, niche projects.
“I think there will be many more attempts by various structures and individuals to create some kind of project in this area. The vast majority of them will go unnoticed. The procedures for integration into cable and satellite networks are currently expensive and complex. I think the most interesting projects are waiting for us on the Internet,” comments the founder of Gakku Media.
Therefore, both Gakku Media (an online multimedia project will be presented in the very near future) and MuzzOne (the website has been relaunched, online broadcasting is developing) are already betting on the Global Network.
In addition to the fact that the Internet is interesting platform for TV channels, it becomes a new way to promote creativity for artists and producers. If earlier producers budgeted about $20 thousand for rotation on TV channels and radio, now cheaper and more popular ways of promotion are used. With the help of platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, VKontakte, Facebook, producers and artists can distribute new songs, videos for free and reach out to their audience more efficiently, while saving a lot of money.
If there are already many successful stories and examples in Western markets when an artist received world fame thanks to the Internet (the most famous are Justin Bieber, PSY, Carly Ray Jepsen), there are still few of them in Kazakhstan. But this trend is already being actively observed in the domestic market. For example, last year our and Russian Internet space was "blown up" by Galymzhan Moldanazar, and this year - by the Project Zenit group. The video for the track "Again" is rotated by the Muz-TV channel and has already become popular among young people.
How we thought
Taking into account the specifics of the domestic market, a kind of hit parade of the 25 most sought-after celebrities was compiled according to the MuzzOne TV channel, with the support of Forbes Kazakhstan. The long list of candidates initially included about 90 celebrities from various fields of activity: athletes, singers, actors, producers, presenters. Their ranking was based on a cumulative assessment of four key indicators: annual income from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014 (average cost per performance multiplied by the average number of performances for the specified period), the number of requests in Yandex search engines , Google, Mail.ru for the same period of time, the number of Instagram followers at the beginning of October of the current year, as well as awards received during the period under review.
The essence of the methodology lies in the fact that we made four lists of applicants, placing them according to four parameters. According to the first three parameters, each participant received points according to the places taken (the highest score received 25 points, the lowest - 1 point). 20 points were awarded for the presence of an international award for a celebrity, 10 points for a Kazakhstani one. Then the points for four parameters were summed up, on the basis of which the final places were assigned.

Scriptonite
Adil Zhalelov was born in Pavlodar and at the age of 11 he was fond of rap, and began to write music a little later, at the age of 15. Since 2009, a career in the professional field began: Scryptonite, together with his friend Anuar (Niman), created the JILLZ group, which also includes Yurik Chetverg, Truwer, Six O and Strong Symphony.

Later, in 2003, the group released the first album in a small edition, which was accepted by fans, and the group began to perform in clubs.

Musical taste is something indefinite. No one can judge you for listening to "Hands Up" or call you an old man for admiring Soviet war songs. But why do our compatriots dance with pleasure at weddings to Kazakh hits, but they will never turn them on in the car? It's time to admit to yourself that there are among the Kazakh songs worthy of their listeners. And today, our guest author Zhanna Asanova shares a list of performers that we have not yet appreciated.
Group Konyr. Respectful, constant, calm.
Rich velvet color, not feigned style, discriminating taste and a fantastically impeccably selected repertoire, as well as a certain halo of mystery - that's what distinguishes these guys from the rest.
Gaukhar Alimbekova
Each of her songs is a depth, a reflection of many things in our lives that we sometimes don’t even think about. Subtle and sensual melodies on the guitar, modern melodies soldered with folk traditions, as if they reveal our emotions and feelings, which we began to forget a little in the frantic urban rhythm. Listening to them, you seem to dissolve in them, again and again experiencing a piece of life in each song, along with Gaukhar.
Zattybek Kөpbosynuly
Usually little is said about him. In fact, they don't speak at all. Many don't even know what it looks like.
But his songs are familiar to everyone. There is not a single Kazakh family that would not hear Zattybek's songs, whether it was a wedding or a neighbor's car. All traditional toi and festive ceremonies are usually held to the incendiary motives of Zattybek's songs.
And when the intermission comes, the dashing dances of the older generation guests begin, mixed with the exciting slow dances of the youth - all this happens mainly to the songs performed by Zattybek.
Zattybek is a living ornament of Kazakh culture, his songs are the background of life ordinary people. And he has universal love. Probably because it is simple and uncomplicated. He is simply ours.
Akylbek Zhemeney
"Kyzyl Orik", "Sary Alma", and it seems like everything))). But these are the songs!
What the cheerful song “Kyzyl Orik” just did not survive. When she just started spinning at weddings, she was quickly appropriated by representatives Kazakh family Kyzylborik (representatives of Uly Zhuz), making it their cult song. Then it turned out that we are talking all the same, about the Red Apricot, to which the Kyzylborikter were a little offended and resisted for a long time, because by that time there had been a lot different stories that the song was written by order of the elders of this ancient family)).
And if jokes aside - the cheerful song "Kyzyl Orik", which has settled forever in every corner of our Motherland, and continues to delight with its sparkling gaiety - this is Akylbek Zhemeney.
And in the excellent performance of the Rodina Band team
Sayat Medeuov
Modest and balanced, his melodic voice with colorful folk timbres won the love of many Kazakhstanis. He makes the hearts of the parents of daughters cry, dragging sad song about a thin maiden share. His melodic songs about the Motherland cause a slight sadness among those who left their native lands. His dombra sings dashingly under Koksholak, so that the hunt will start dancing. He is truly a people's favorite, he does not need PR, he is already listened to by all the remote places of Kazakhstan.
Well, I can not say a few words about my favorite band The Magic of Nomads.
Apparently I missed the moment of the peak of fame of this team and was in the dark about their work, until one day I received a gift from my good friend and mentor Yerlan Stambekov - the disk "Bulbul Zaman".
And since then I have become a loyal fan of these amazingly talented people, the disc has become my favorite, it's especially cool to listen to it when you drive along a deserted highway - it's something!
The group consists of well-known Kazakh musicians, each of whom is a bright individuality: Gaziza Gabdrakhimova, Renat Gaisin, Viktor Khomenkov, Edil Khusainov, Ermek Diyarov, Salimgerei Sadykov. In this composition, The Magic of Nomads was applauded by the best halls of New York, London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Hannover, and Munich.
