Uba Chants Ethnic Folk Festival

Location — Poperechnoe village, near the city of Ridder, in Eastern Kazakhstan
Time — Mid-July

Kazakhstan is a multinational country and home to more than a 100 different ethnic groups who live side by side in harmony, and this directly affects the cultural life in this country. People from different ethnicity celebrate the Turkic holiday Nauryz and the Slavic Maslennitsa. And annually in mid July in the Poperechnoe village near the city of Ridder in Eastern Kazakhstan holds an ethnic folk festival called Uba Chants. Here there are different teams from the region that gather together during the festival to sing songs in Kazakh, Russian and Ukrainian, but the main point of this is to chant the legacy of the so-called old believers. About 200 years ago old believers that originated from Poland moved to Rudny Altai. The old believers are quite reserved, however, they become accessible before the hay harvest: they participate in the festival of Uba Chants, they sing, and they dance in a ring. The festival aims at the authentic legacy of the region to be restored back to life.

The Uba Festival is held outdoors in the nearby West Altai Nature Reserve. During the festival local travel agencies offer various excursions, hiking tours and horseback rides in the forests near Ridder, in West Altai. Here even the Kazakhstani people are astonished with the South Siberian forest consisting mostly of cedars, larches and firs as Ridder is tucked away from big cities and national highways. The tall grass and marshy river valleys add to the landscape. With the mesmerizing mountain slopes topped with the alpine meadows, nature will captivate your soul. Then there is the mountainous tundras that have been severed by time with only rockslides and amazing cliffs as evidence of a once great mass of land. If the beauty of this rugged land does not excite your wild side then the viewing deck set by the campsite will. From this deck travellers can watch bears, elks and marals, in their natural habitat, which will instantly give you that bond with nature that so many people are searching for.

AlmaFest: Traditional Tekeli Apple Festival Takes Place in Almaty Region

NUR-SULTAN – The AlmaFest: Tekeli Apple Festival took place Oct. 23 in the town of Tekeli near the Dzhungar Alatau mountains in the Almaty Region, honoring the significance of apples for the country’s people, reports the region’s press service.

Sievers’ apple (lat.) got its name after a St. Petersburg botanist Johann Sievers, who first described it during an expedition to the Russian Altai, Siberia and Central Asia in 1792-1794. Photo credit: kokzhailyau.kz. Click to see the map in full size.

Tekeli is known for its apples, including the Sievers’ apple trees, which is an indigenous Kazakh species.

The festival featured an exhibition where school children presented their creative works, including apple desserts.

The event was organized by the Qogamdyk Kelisim government institution, Tekeli city administration and the Center for Kazakh culture, customs and traditions, and is meant to instill love and patriotic feeling to the motherland among the younger generation.

A quarter of all known homegrown apple varieties (about 2,500) are derived from Sievers’ apple. Photo credit: press service of Tekeli city administration.

“The history of our native land, the country and the city is taught at schools, but whether our children will grow up decent homeland protectors, whether they will become well-educated individuals, whether they will know the history, customs and traditions of its people – this all depends on how we speak about the topic with pupils,” said local teacher Batima Zhakanova.

“Almaty” means grandfather of apples from Kazakh, and Kazakhstan is considered to be a place where the most ancient apple species was found according to several scientific studies.
