Abstract
This article will analyze, in accordance with the methods and techniques of the branches of social and humanitarian sciences, the songs of ölöng (өлөң) and dürö (дүрө), almost forgotten in the oral folk art of Kyrgyzstanis, but performed at modern weddings of Kyrgyz ethnic groups living in other countries (in particular, among the Pamir Kyrgyz), preserving their liveliness in their traditional culture. The performance of ölöng is a traditional, multifunctional ethnopoetic act performed before the performance of the nike kyiuu (Muslim wedding ceremony), which is the final stage of the weddings of the Pamir Kyrgyz. The ritual cannot be performed without the accompaniment of the ölöng, the performance of which can be undertaken only by the folk singers of the ölöngchü, trained and experienced in the performance of these songs. Information about dürö has been poorly preserved. Respondents recall that the architectonics and content of the dürö are close to some types of akyn competitions – aitysh where elements of erotic themes take place. The issues of the organization of the oral text, the use of linguistic means, artistic form, deep content, traditions of performance, place in the public life of the speakers of ölöng and dürö, need careful study at the intersection of social and humanitarian sciences such as ethnofolkloristics, ethnoculturology, ethnolinguistics and ethnophilosophy.
