Abstract

This article reveals the transformation of Kazakh music through the tamada in Bayan-Ölgii Province in Mongolia in the post-socialist period. The tamada (master of ceremonies) is an office common across Central Asia, the Caucasus and Russia. In Bayan-Ölgii, where 90% of the population is Kazakh, weddings have been held in a large hall in the town since the 2000s. The tamada has played a central role in these events, in the playing of music. This article focuses on the history of activities of the tamada and shows that they not only have a role in advancing programmes in wedding ceremonies but also form the contents of these events. In addition, tamada play popular songs using new technology, which has prompted the transformation of music in weddings.
