Shoul Khymat Dancers
 

Most relevant translation of Shuol Khymat term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)

Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated in Ancient Kuzhebar twice a year  at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.

pyrography on wood, 2010

The Kuzheshu-Fish was often honoured with special songs in Ancient Kuzhebar. When somebody wanted to know something about relatives or friends who were far away, he sang a question-song to Kuzheshu.

Kuzheshu-Fish knew everything what had even happen under or above the earth. It lived in water and all secrets and mysteries, which were kept in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, in ground waters and waterfalls, in rain, fog, steam and even in tears of?  humans and animals were for it easy accessible.

This is traditional Tuvan song in non-traditional interpretation, arrangement made by us spontaneously. We had 1 hour of time and we was just celebrating our occasional meeting. In fact this is the combination of ancient tuvan folklore, contemporary fusion jazz, some middle eastern music and kuzhebarian rhythms:)
Raphael De Cock - vocals, throat singing (khoomei, kargyraa, sygyt), uilleann pipes
Dmitry Gorelik - guitar
Nadishana - hybrid kaval, dan moi

Price from 110 EUR (depending on artwork amount). Made by request. Available at our ethnic store now.

Flute decoration consists of fertility symbols and symbols connected with  the ritual of Kuzhebar people called Shuol Khymat.

Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated twice a year ??? at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it???s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.

Most relevant translation of ???Shuol Khymat??? term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)

Unfortunately the complete ritual is lost, but we had used some elements of it which are still extant. Normally the ritual had to take place in a very sunny day. It was accompanied by playing on overtone flute and by special movements. Ancient kuzhebar people believed that flute sounds in combination with special dance help to capture the solar energy in a most efficient way.

Three Magic Windows

Posted on February 27th, 2010 by nadishana.
Categories: kuzhebar, Julia Surba, Pyrography Art.

Old Kuzhebar legends tell about courageous travellers, who took risks to travel through different reality tunnels, so they could see other worlds which were different from one we usually know. Sometimes these travellers brought some objects from the visited worlds or they tried to depict them. The images were used by them to get into the world they liked again.

Here are Three Magic Windows into three different worlds ???reconstructed??? by Julia Surba.

Vladiswar NADISHANA –

Un écho lointain de Sibérie

Quand on dit d’un artiste qu’il est multi-instrumentiste, on l’imagine bien maîtriser environ trois à quatre instruments. Vladiswar NADISHANA, lui, en joue plus d’une centaine ! Cet artiste russe, découvert en France par le biais de ses collaborations avec le quatuor vocal expérimental ORGAN’X, le percussionniste Steve SHEHAN et le HADOUK TRIO, est décidément une énigme de la nature, en même temps qu’un créateur hors pair. Maîtrisant divers instruments à cordes, à vents et de percussions, dont une bonne partie ont été inventés ou réinventés par lui, Vladiswar NADISHANA a la fibre de la fusion ethnique et du métissage ethno-jazz bigarré et sinueux, mais dont les racines sont nourries par l’écho d’une tradition sibérienne aujourd’hui disparue, et que NADISHANA s’évertue à redynamiser. A partir d’une culture improbable, il a généré une forme très personnelle de folklore sinon imaginaire, au moins poly-dimensionnel. Pour ETHNOTEMPOS, Vladiswar NADISHANA ouvre

URHAT, one of the three magical birds of Ancient Kuzhebar. The bird of Light and Joy has been???? finished few days ago!

????

“Urhat” Pyrography on maple wood, carving. 40 x 60 cm

As the ancient kuzhebarian tales say Urhat has four eyes and one of those is a human one. With it the bird can see the world in the way human beeings do. Three other eyes of Urhat are looking into three different worlds: the spirit world, the world of living beeings and the “horhu”-world, the world of different living beeings. Ancient Kuzhebarina tales say that Urhat had tought people how to create magic sounds by using special devices, that is why it is always shown playing a flute, a jew..s harp or a ghost catcher.
