Lapar And Ceremony Songs Of The Turkestan Region

Abstract

The folk songs of the Uzbeks of the Turkestan region are an integral part of Uzbek folk lyric poetry. The samples recorded in the towns and villages of the Turkestan region, such as Shymkent, Karnak, Sayram, Eski Ekan, Karabulak, Mankent, and Karamurt, encompass all genres of folk lyrics. Observations show that the lapar genre holds a special place in the Turkestan region. At the same time, we can see that these samples resonate with the types of songs widely spread in other regions inhabited by Uzbeks, which are called olan, and in some places, lapar.
