Doolot Sydykov

Doolot Sydykov (born 1983), is a manaschi (a reciter of the Kyrgyz epic of Epic of Manas).

In November 2020, he recited the epic continuously in Ala-Too Square in Bishkek for a record 14 hours and 27 minutes.^[1] In September 2021, he recited the epic for 111 hours over a five day period in Moscow.^[2]

His earlier attempts to promote the epic included touring across Kyrgyzstan in 2012 performing with Talantaaly Bakchiev,^[3] making audiovisual recordings of his performances depicting the funeral feast for Kokotoi Khan^[4] and episodes from Semetey,^[5] and performing with Solenye Oreshki, a jazz band.^[6]

While popularising the epic, he has also spoken out against the commercialization of the epic (such as branding alcohol with the names of the epic's heroes).^[7]

Transcriptions of three audiovisual recordings,^[8] made at the American University of Central Asia, narrating the birth of the titular character, Manas, available online,^[9]^[10] have been studied to reveal his in-performance composition methods.^[11]

In 2022, he left Kyrgyzstan owing to a political dispute regarding the Manas Ayyly (Museum).^{[clarification needed]}^[12]
