Talantaaly Bakchiev

Talantaaly Bakchiev (born 1971) is a manaschi (a reciter of the Kyrgyz epic Epic of Manas) and academic.

He has stated that Sayakbay Karalaev appeared in his calling dream,[1] and that Shaabai Azizov was his mentor.[2]

Recordings of his oral performances of episodes of the epos have been made available online by the Aigine Cultural Research Center,[3] and the Open Society Archives.[4] Transcriptions of the latter,[5] audiovisual recordings made at the American University of Central Asia of variant performances narrating the birth of Manas, have been studied to reveal his in-performance composition methods that are similar to those described by Milman Parry as Oral-formulaic composition.[6]

He has published episodes from the epos: a narrative concerning the memorial feast of the titular character Manas (Manastin ashi),[7] and a narrative concerned with his companion, Almanbet (Almambettin jomogu).[8] These have been analyzed in comparison with his texts produced in performance.[9]

He is the author of an academic thesis on the subject of Kyrgyz epics,[10] and a textbook on the subject.[11]
