Turkmen artist Inzhikhan Gulmukhometova sang a song about the Nogai people - "Nogai Khalk"
The live motive of the composition conveys the character and worldview of a freedom-loving ethnic group, and the title of the song is translated as “Nogai people”.
“Many will immediately ask themselves the question:“ Why does the Turkmen woman sing in Nogai? ”, Inzhikhan says,“ this song is the first within the framework of the “Friendship of Peoples!” Project. Those who have been following my work for a long time know that I want to start a cycle of songs in different languages of the peoples of the Caucasus. The song in Nogai was published first, one of the reasons for this choice is that Turkmen and Nogai have been living side by side for more than one hundred years. We are not just peoples-neighbors, we are peoples-brothers! We are united not only by a centuries-old history, but also by a similar language, appearance, customs. This song is not just in another language, it is about the friendship of peoples!
In addition, with this song, I express my deep gratitude to the entire Nogai people, for the recognition of my work, for the positive and respect! It contains a deep meaning that friendship and brotherhood are more valuable than wealth!
I am madly in love with my people, I respect traditions and customs, but I also have deep respect for all the peoples of the Caucasus! The words of this song were written by Salimet Mailybayeva, a member of the Union of Writers and Journalists of Russia, radio presenter, teacher of the Nogai language and literature.
Arranged by the talented composer Nuradin Satyrov, folk music "
