The element, which combines narration, song, composition, prose, poetry and vocal improvisation, acts as an oral encyclopedia of traditional customs and skills (including cattle breeding, traditional medicine, etc.). Its transmission plays an important role in the education of children, helping them to better understand their cultural identity. Tradition nurtures character, creative abilities and artistic talents while providing communities of bearers with a strong sense of social and cultural identity. The epic reflects the Turkmen’s aspirations for happiness, freedom and justice, and promotes values such as courage, honesty, friendship, tolerance and fairness. Its bearers and practitioners are male and female Turkmen performers, who are specialists in the Görogly epic. Traditionally, the epic is narrated in a seated position to the sound of traditional string instruments, such as the dotar and the gyjak. Holders and practitioners of Görogly Epic Song actively participate in all national celebrations, cultural festivals and social gatherings as well as annual competitions between performers of Görogly Epic Song. The practice of epic singing is considered a calling, with students learning the knowledge and skills of their masters both through informal instruction and during public performances. |  |
