Tatarstan is a region of Russia, inhabited by the Tatars. Their traditional music is a mixture of Turkic and Finno-Ugric elements. Instrumental dance music, secular song and sacred music are all a part of Tatar folk. Instrumentation includes kubyz (violin), surnay, quray (flute) and accordion-talianka.
In the mid-20th century, a number of Tatar composers became renowned, including Cäwdät Fäyzi, Salix Saydash, Mansur Mozaffarov and Näcip Cihanov.
