Janyl March 24, 2007

'Janyl,' the newest work by Yara Arts Group, is based on an ancient epic song from Kyrgyzstan, 'Janyl Myrza' (pronounced Ja-nil Mir-zha), about a woman archer with a skill so refined that she never misses. This World Music-Theater piece includes fragments of the epic performed live by Kyrgyz artists from Central Asia in the traditional singing style, while Yara artists perform in English.
