The author reviews the many genres of Yakut (Sakha) folk music, arguing that its richness is illustrated through the vitality and adaptability of song [toyuk], epos [olonkho], prayer [algys], and improvisational circle dance chanting [okhuokhai]. Some traditionally multi-media and multi-vocal forms, such as shamanic dramas and full-length epic singing, have been rechanneled, with their creative spirit being inherited by the most varied manifestations of Yakut artistic culture—words, painting, and music
