The iconic song for the Karachay-Balkarian people, and simply beloved by the entire Caucasus, the composition “Ata dzhurtum” (“Motherland”), written and performed by Albert Uzdenov, was presented by Alla Boychenko
“Since childhood, I have been inspired by the work of Albert Uzdenov,” Alla shares, “I am convinced that it takes many years for a young artist to take the risk of conveying the well-deserved masterpieces of ethnic musical culture in his own way. I am glad that I worked with Timur Kitov, who, by the way, inspired me to this project. Somehow, on Timur's page, I heard a sketch of this song, and immediately decided to do this project.
Contacted him, discussed, the idea came to mind that the song should not be fast. On the contrary, it should be seasoned, majestic, so that our elders can go out and dance the correct Tuz tepseu under it, as well as young people.
We tried to make the arrangement so that it embodies all the diversity and grandeur of the nature of Karachay, and so that a person from here, listening to this song, represents his native land.
I hope everyone enjoys it and enjoy listening!”
