MALBukhara will host the republican festival "Maqom" among young performers
This, in particular, is stated in a new resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers dated November 16, 2021. Festival organizers: The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Agency for Youth Affairs, the Uzbek National Art Center "Maqom", as well as the administration of the Bukhara region.
The initiative to hold Maqom festival in Bukhara was put forward by the President of the Republic Sh.M. Mirziyoyev during his visit to the Bukhara region in October this year.
"Bukhara is one of the ancient centers of our national art and culture. The contribution of this land to the worldwide fame of Shashmaqom, the flower of makom art, is invaluable. If we hold the next International Maqom Art Festival in Bukhara, it will be a beautiful and historic event if Maqom masters from all over the world gather here."
The resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers notes that, starting from 2022, the Festival will be held in the month of May, every 2 years.
The festival is expected to be attended by young performers under the age of 30, as well as folklore groups not exceeding 15 people. The selection competition will be held in 2 directions: vocal and instrumental art.
Maqom is a unique art that has collected a large number of musical works and has developed over the centuries thanks to the work of folk poets and philosophers, composers, singers and musicians. In 2008, UNESCO recognized Shashmaqom as the intangible cultural heritage of mankind.
