"The present disc consists of 18 selections from Elmira Janabergenova's vast repertoire. They were recorded in the spring of 2009 at Bay Records Studio in Berkeley, California, after the singer's sucessful performances at Stanford University and at the Silk Road House in Berkeley.
As a professional stage performance, Elmira Janabergenova constructs her repertoire with an eye to the many different expectations of her listeners. For example, along with the classical terme [lit. "threading"- a short epic genre] (n° 1, 2, 6, 7, 12, 17), she performs religious songs (n° 3, 4, 5) and beloved lyric songs (n° 10, 13, 14, 15). Her repertoire also includes poems by contemporary poets (n° 9 - on the fate of Aral Sea) as well as texts from the 18th (n°12) and 19th (n°11) centuries. At the close of the disc is an aitys [lit. "to speak together"] made up of riddles passed back and forth between two epic singers, Nurym and Qashaghan."
