NSEW – Keep It Coming music video

September 10, 2010 by Yein Jee

English music video of Keep It Coming by pop duo NSEW, formed by two (presumably) popular Kazakh acts Madu and Orda…

Couldn’t find much about the singers, and the limited online resources seem to contradict each other. It’s a decent song anyway. Video via ZarinaMadu@YT.

Check out a previous MV which I’ve posted, I Don’t Believe, solo by Madu.

July 11, 2009 by Yein Jee

I Don’t Believe (Не верю), a Kazakh music video by singer Madu. Couldn’t find any English resource about the star; bumped into the MV by chance and thought that it’s something different that’s worth sharing…

Tulpan (2008) movie trailer

April 3, 2009 by Yein Jee

Trailer for acclaimed Kazakh film Tulpan, a gorgeous mix of tender comedy, ethnographic drama and wildlife extravaganza set on the steppes of Kazakhstan…

Directed by Sergey Dvortsevoy, the 2008 movie has won multiple international accolades including the Prix Un Certain Regard at Festival de Cannes, and Grand Prix at Tokyo Film Festival etc.

The movie tells the story of Asa, a former Russian navy who returns to his sister’s nomadic brood in the desolate steep to begin his life as a shepherd.

But before he can tend a flock of his own, Asa must prove his worth as a husband and herder to the landlord, which means he’ll have to win the hand of Tulpan, the only eligible bachelorette for miles.

With references from Zeitgeist Films.

Kazakh woman maybe the world’s oldest

March 30, 2009 by Yein Jee

Sahan Dosova, a woman from the Republic of Kazakhstan is claimed to be 130-years-old, which if true would make her the world’s oldest living person…

She doesn’t have enough documents (beside her passport) to support the claim though; thus the official Guinness World Records for the oldest person/woman alive is still Gertrude Baines from the US at 114 of age.
