Featuring 1,500 carefully selected recordings — ranging from kuis and folk songs to jyr-terme (genre of Kazakh poetry), fairy tales, lullabies, and retro hits — the collection preserves authentic performances by Kazakhstan’s first musicians. 

The materials managed by the Qazaqstan Radio and Television Corporation can also be accessed on altynqor.com. Karin emphasized that this initiative will help promote Kazakhstan’s rich musical heritage worldwide and be a valuable resource for future generations.

“The collection will become a rich and reliable source of information for young performers, future generations, and will also significantly expand the artificial intelligence database,” said Karin.

The Assyl Mura collection will be donated to national libraries and art universities across Kazakhstan.
