Congratulation of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on the National Day of Dombyra

                                                                        Dear compatriots!

From the bottom of my heart I congratulate you on the National Dombra Day!

For our country, this is a special holiday, celebrating which we strengthen our identity, awaken the self-consciousness of the people. It contributes to the rooting of the original traditions of the Great Steppe and deepening the understanding of the native culture among the younger generation.

Dombra is a true talisman and guardian of our nation. Her melodies are close and familiar to each of us, because Kazakhs and dombra are inseparable from each other.

No wonder Academician Akhmet Zhubanov said: "Dombra is an ancient chronicle of a nomadic people." The innermost essence of our nation is hidden in the strings of this sacred musical instrument.

The legacy of the great kuishi, which has come down from the time of the famous Ketbuga, is our priceless spiritual heritage. By consistently promoting our original art, we exalt our culture.

Today we have begun to create a New Kazakhstan, a qualitative transformation of the nation. For the sustainable progress of the country, we need not only to follow in line with modern trends, but also to carefully treat the traditions and customs of our ancestors, and widely promote the values ​​of hard work.

Our people and dombra are forever connected, because the spirit of freedom is passed from generation to generation through the art of kui.

Let dombra always take the most honorable place in every home!
