Описание: Part 1: contains several ancient Circassian toasts, and "The Tale of Gwascheghagh / Гуащэгъагъ и таурыхъ".

Step into the rich world of Circassian mythology with this special collection of recordings featuring the legendary storyteller and poet Mustafa (Aliy Yibrehiym) Khwaj (Хъуажь Ибрэхьим и къуэ Алий и къуэ Мэстафэ). Born in the famous Circassian village of Jerash, Jordan, in 1910, Khwaj was a masterful raconteur, carrying on the traditions of the ancient Circassian minstrels.

Khwaj stood out as a naturally gifted poet and storyteller. He learned his craft from various bards and storytellers in his hometown, absorbing a vast array of oral lore that the Circassians carried into exile. His remarkable memory and unique style allowed him to add his own dramatic flair to these timeless tales without losing their essence.

Khwaj excelled in narrating the legendary Circassian tales of Nart, considered a great treasure of Circassian culture. His repertoire also included toasts, medieval tales, traditional stories, laments, and even some of his original compositions. Each story he told was brought to life with vivid drama and excitement, capturing the hearts of his audience.

In this part, the bard starts with a number of ancient Circassian toasts: "Our Sweet Daughter-in-Law! / Ди нысэ фо!", "Start of Ploughing Campaign Toast / ВакIуэдэкI хъуэхъу", "Amisch Toast / Амыщ хуэгъэза хъуэхъу", and "Table Toast / Iэнэгу хъуэхъу". He then commences to recount "The Tale of Gwascheghagh / Гуащэгъагъ и таурыхъ".
