Chechen Music (Chechen: Нохчийн иллеш ) is the musical tradition of the Chechen people from Chechnya.
Chechen music was first recorded in the 1920's, when composer Aleksandr Davidenko visited Chechen villages and recorded multiple traditional songs.[citation needed] 30 folk tunes were released in 1926.[citation needed]
Instruments[edit]
Chechen folk music has multiple instruments.
Phandar[edit]
The Phandar (Chechen: Пхıандар; /phɑːnˈdʌr/;) is a traditional Vainakh three-stringed instrument from the Vainakh countries (Chechnya and Ingushetia). It is similar to the Georgian Panduri and the Russian Balalaika.
Chiondarg[edit]
The Chiondarg is an instrument that resembles a violin or fiddle.[1] Chiondarg translates literally as "having hair," referring to the fact that the chiondarg was traditionally made of horsehair.[1] In Vainakh mythology, it was believed to make crops grow faster.[citation needed]
Contemporary music[edit]
Modern Chechen music has made a comeback with the First Chechen War. Contemporary Chechen music resembles either traditional folk music or modern European music, usually Russian.
Wartime music[edit]
During the First and Second Chechen wars, many Chechen musicians and bards began making music in support of the Chechen separatists. Lyrics often include nationalist themes.
The most popular wartime musicians include Imam Alimsultanov, Timur Mutsurayev, and Musa Nasagayev.[citation needed]
Modern music[edit]
Modern musicians in Chechnya include Makka Sagaipova, the Dimayev family (Ali Dimayev, Amarbek Dimayev, Said Dimayev, Umar Dimayev), and Tamara Dadasheva.[citation needed]
