Composer: Nurak Abdrakhmanov (b. 1947)
Performer: Nurak Abdrakhmanov, komuz

“I dedicate this küü to the honor of the great Attila Khan,” says Nurak Abdrakhmanov. “The melody represents a spiritual connection to those times. The Turks are one people, and the Mongols and Huns were our ancestors.” Attila the Hun (d. 453), who earned the sobriquet “Scourge of God” for his contribution to the fall of the Roman Empire, is viewed more respectfully in the East. Nurak’s tribute expresses the reverence he feels for the Huns, called Xiong-nu in ancient Chinese sources, as founders of Inner Asia’s first nomadic empire and progenitors of the later Turkic and Mongol steppe empires. Nurak’s küüs are known for their meditative cast and deep philosophical content. Alongside his activities as a composer, instrumentalist, and singer, Nurak is renowned as a komuz maker.
