(Born October 15, 1951) When we say that "Art is a gift from God," it means that it is not possible for one person to recognize and develop the inherent talent, to convey to the listener the rhythm of the song born from a special feeling that moves the soul, and to awaken the inner eye. Tursyngazy Rakhimov, a singer, composer, and cultural worker from Semey, famous for the song "I want to be a child," who has been touring the Kazakh steppes for about thirty years and delighting the public with his art, is such an artist. While Mukagali sings "Three happinesses," Tursyngazy always says with pride, "I have three teachers." Let's listen to the words of the composer about receiving education from three talented people on the path to art: "I am happy to be a student of Zhusupbek Elebekov. He always said, "You will be engaged in music." Perhaps it was his foresight that I began to compose songs ten years later. My second teacher, Yesimkhan Obayev, who called me "the black dombra that supports you." He gave me many roles and trained me for the stage. You also need skill to go on stage. My third teacher is the composer Temirzhan Bazarbayev. When I wrote my first song "I want to be a child" in 1979, he was my mentor who blessed me and educated me a lot..." In early December 1993, the composer's creative evening was held in Almaty. In 1994, Tursyngazy's collection of songs entitled "I want to be a child" was published. The scientist and researcher Token wrote the foreword to the collection "A heart in love with a song" Ibragimov. This year, the singer went to China on a special invitation and performed in Urumqi. Each song has its own destiny, its own voice, and its own heart. In that bright moon, the smell of which is like the blood of the Kazakh people, the composer also has his own voice. The person who made his songs find their way is Mukagali Makatayev. The spirit of the Arkal poet still haunts Tursyngazy's talent. So far, about fifteen of the poet's poems have been included in songs. His songs "Dariga, give me your dombra", "I will go over thirty", "When I miss you", "Sanauly kun", "Neniye ansaymin", "Ya, zaratuchi Allaham", "Kazakhym-ay", "Ayagoz aru" and others are soul-stirring. As they say, each song has its own history of origin, the composer's songs "Batyr baba - Kabanbai", "An atasi" - Amire", dedicated to Asset, "What's the matter with Sagynbaska ne shara", Later, when Zhanibek passed away, he and Nesipbek released the song "Akboken", and later the song "Aning kata, Zhanibek" was created to the poem by Yesengali Adilbekov. In 2004, a collection of songs by Tursyngazy Rakhimov "Nenі ansaymymn" was published. The collection includes works by poets-journalists about Tursyngazy. Tursyngazy Rakhimov, who taught Zhusipbek Elebekov's singing school to generations and teaches at the Mukan Tolebayev Music College in Semey, is a mentor who passed on the torch of art to future generations.
