KAZAK HALKININ AYTIS SANATI
AITYS ART OF KAZAKH PEOPLE

Summary/Abstract: Aitys art is a unique traditional heritage that reflects the nomadic life, national identity, spirit and steppe culture of the Kazakh people, emerging and developing in line with these characteristics. Aitys art developed together with other types of Kazakh oral literature and even influenced these genres. In this study, we discussed some issues of aitys, which is a unique art in Kazakh folk literature that has survived until today. In particular, we talked about the art of improvisation, its origin, formation, development, distribution, type, artistic quality, its role in Kazakh culture and literature and its importance in national spirituality. We have scientifically examined the types of interior styles and their functions, the reasons for the obsolescence of some of them, and the ways in which they are reconstructed and transformed for the benefit of the country. The collection, storage, systematization, research, publication, versatile structure of Aytis species, changes in different periods depending on the historical and social conditions of the society, etc. We drew attention to the issues. We used data obtained from written sources in the study. In the conclusion part of the study, we made suggestions about the current state of the art of aitys and the works that should be done to keep the art alive. The flag of aitys art, which was aborted from time to time, was raised by raids such as Jambıl, Şaşıbay, Doskey, Nartay, Sat, Nurkan, Kayıp, Kosen, Kenen, Sayadil, Umbetali in the 20th century. The tradition is still alive among the people today, but it has not been preserved in modern environments. Aitys poets convey the aytis of the famous akin without adapting to their rhythms and do not respect the musical traditions of the regional schools that have lived for centuries. Therefore, such cases are among the unresolved problems of modern aitys art.
