The Festival "The Echo of Mountains" was Held in Chechen Republic

08 August, 2014

On August 7, 2014, in the Palace of Culture named after Sh. Edisultanov (the city of Grozny) within the framework of the Year of Culture the Republican festival-contest of artists playing at folk instruments "The Echo of Mountains" took place.

The festival-contest organizer was the Center of people arts of the Ministry of Culture of Chechen Republic.

Music, one of the oldest forms of art, is able not only to please one’s ear with lovely harmonies, express feelings and emotions of people, yet to transmit the sounds of the natural elements, information on events that took place.

For instance, in Chechen tale of cruel prince, who has ordered to pour molten lead into mouth of anyone who would bring him news of his son death, a master has created a trichord musical instrument, the melody of which told father about the tragic death of the young man.

That folk story reveals reverent attitude of the people both to music and musical instruments.

The promotion of people culture and arts, education of children and youth by the best examples of folk music and traditional culture – those are the main components of the festival-contest.

The contest assists amateur groups and individual performers to express themselves, unleash their creativity.

The festival-contest was a great holiday both for participants and its many spectators.
