Description: Orteke is a Kazakh performing art with a traditional two-stringed instrument called a dombyra and a wooden mountain goat puppet. Attached to the surface of a drum, the puppet is connected to the fingers of a musician by one or several strings. As the musician plays the dombyra, the puppet comes to life, hopping in sync with the music while tapping a beat on the drum. Enjoyed by children and adults alike, Orteke is an important part of the region’s folk heritage and identity.
