The article raises issues of ethno-cultural parallels that are identified in the field of musical art of Turkic and, more broadly, Central Asian peoples. Based on the position on different levels of commonness of ethnic cultures and using the methods of comparative historical and comparative typological research, the author, using the example of 2-string bow instruments with hair strings and some features of the musical thinking of the “Eastern” and “Western” Türks, actualizes the typology of musical cultures of the peoples of Central Asia. It is concluded that in the regional traditions of kobyz and dombra music (tоkpe and shertpe), one can observe a symbiosis of different historical and cultural traditions. They were reflected not only in instrumentation and musical stylistics, but also in the different types of musical thinking characteristic of the “East Turkic” and “West Turkic” cultural systems. According to the author, a comprehensive study of the musical cultures of Central Asia, as well as their cross-cultural studies, will reveal both the cultural typology and the unity of the TurkicMongolian-Iranian culture of this area.
