Abstract
This article scientifically analyzes the historical formation, stages of development, and musical and aesthetic features of the music creation and dostan performance of the Turkic peoples. The study covers the genesis of the dostan traditions, their place in the system of oral creativity, and their characteristics as a syncretic art form. Also, the genre and content aspects, the system of epic patterns, and means of artistic expression of Uzbek folk dostans are analyzed in detail. The article reveals the image of the epic hero, the plot structure, and the specific aspects of the ideological content using the example of the Alpomish dostan. Special attention is also paid to the musical and performance aspects of the art of dostan, including elements such as the tradition of Bakhshi, improvisation, and instrumental accompaniment.
