Un chapeak blanc brod\u00e9, une veste chamarr\u00e9e de motifs khan, et entre les mains, un komuz au bois patin\u00e9 par des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de doigts. Alex Iskandar fait revivre l’une des traditions les plus anciennes d’Asie centrale : celle des akyns, ces po\u00e8tes-musiciens nomades qui racontaient l’histoire de leur peuple au fil des cordes. Sur cet instrument \u00e0 trois cordes, taill\u00e9 dans un seul bloc de bois, il fait na\u00eetre des m\u00e9lodies qui imitent tour \u00e0 tour le galop d’un cheval, le souffle du vent sur les steppes ou la plainte d’un amour perdu. Sa voix, grave et pos\u00e9e, s’\u00e9l\u00e8ve avec la m\u00eame \u00e9conomie de moyens que son jeu, pr\u00e9cise, habit\u00e9e, sans un geste de trop. Chez Alex Iskandar, chaque note porte en elle des si\u00e8cles de transmission orale, et chaque silence entre deux phrases semble encore r\u00e9sonner de l’immensit\u00e9 du Kirghizistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A white embroidered kalpak, a jacket swirling with khan motifs, and between his hands, a komuz whose wood has been worn smooth by generations of fingers. Alex Iskandar keeps alive one of Central Asia’s oldest traditions: that of the akyns, the nomadic poet-musicians who once carried their people’s history from string to string. On this three-stringed instrument, carved from a single block of wood, he conjures melodies that mimic in turn a horse’s gallop, the wind sweeping across the steppe, or the ache of a lost love. His voice, low and steady, rises with the same economy of gesture as his playing, precise, deeply felt, never a movement wasted. With Alex Iskandar, every note carries centuries of oral transmission, and every silence between phrases still seems to echo with the vastness of Kyrgyzstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
