Circassian music

Vladimir Baragun (Бэрэгъун Владимир) (1939-1998), Honoured Cultural Worker of the Russian Federation and People’s Artist of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, was one of the best singers of the 1970s and 80s in Circassia. Although he recorded many fine and memorable traditional and modern songs, his powerful operatic voice was best suited for ancient anthems. He documented and recorded a number of Pantheonic chants, including ‘Mezguashhe’ («МЭЗГУАЩЭ»; ‘Forest-Lady’). His wide Nart repertoire included an emotive rendering of ‘Nartizch Wered’ («НАРТЫЖЬ УЭРЭД»; ‘Song of the Ancient Narts’), which causes tingling sensations in the back of one’s head, ‘Ashemez yi Pshinalhe’ («АШЭМЭЗ И ПШЫНАЛЪЭ»; ‘Ashemez’s Melody’), ‘Badinoque yi Pshinalhe’ («БЭДЫНОКЪУЭ И ПШЫНАЛЪЭ»; ‘Badinoque’s Melody’), ‘Sosrique Maf’e Qeih’ («СОСРЫКЪУЭ МАФIЭ КЪЕХЬ»; ‘Sosrique Fetches Fire’), and many others. His heroic/historical repertory included ‘Senjeley yi Wered’ («СЭНДЖЭЛЕЙ И УЭРЭД»; ‘The Song of Prince Sanjalay’), in which he evokes the heroism of the mediæval prince-warrior.

Старинный танец | Old Dance | Second Version

Старинный танец | Old Dance | First Version

Bjamiy (Cyrillic: Бжамий) is a Circassian (Kabardian) folk group performing authentic Circassian music and dances of the Cacausus and Circassian Diaspora. It has toured various countries.

The name means "whistle" or "flute" in the Circassian language. It is a wooden instrument that has been used for music and communication since ancient times. Bjamiy is mentioned constantly in the Nart sagas:

“The flute is a musical instrument that occurs in our mythology too. Nart Ashemez’s flute was white on one side and black on the other. If he blew into the white side, there would be prosperity and if he blew into black side there would be famine. Our flutes are white on both sides. They heal patients, and invite healthy people to dance. Our songs & dances excite people. The flute, Shiqe Pshina, Pshina Digkhuakho, and pxhachich with Circassian accordion take our ancient melodies from the past to the future.”
