Private Aziz Temirbek, a conscript serviceman of Military Unit 5571 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty, conscientiously fulfills his military duty while also promoting national art.

Eighteen-year-old Aziz was born in the Syrdarya district of the Kyzylorda region. From early childhood, he developed a passion for the dombra. He received his first lessons on the national instrument at school from his teacher Gulnaz Seraliyeva. Later, he continued his studies at the Kazangap Kyzylorda Higher Music College, where he refined his performance skills under the guidance of instructor Zhansultan Zhumabek.

Today, the guardsman knows nearly 100 kyuis by heart. Among the most expressive pieces in his repertoire are well-known works of Kazakh dombra music — “Saryarka,” “Serper,” “Aksak Kiik,” “Toremurat,” “Baizhuma” and others. According to Aziz, he mastered most popular kyuis by reading sheet music.

— For me, the dombra is a sacred heritage that reflects the culture and traditions of our people. Even while serving in the military, I am glad to continue the traditions of the Syrdarya school of kyui performance, — says the serviceman.

Currently, Aziz is serving in Almaty, ensuring public order and the safety of citizens. In his free time, at the request of his fellow servicemen, he takes up the dombra and performs familiar kyuis. His heartfelt playing lifts the spirits of the soldiers and strengthens their morale.

The presence of such talented young people among the servicemen of the National Guard is a vivid testament to the continuity of national culture. Through the sound of the dombra, Aziz Temirbek continues the centuries-old traditions of Kazakh kyui, passing this spiritual heritage on to the next generation.
