From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tınıbek Japıy uulu (Тыныбек Жапый уулу; c. 1846–1902) was a Kyrgyz manaschi.
He taught and influenced Sagımbay Orozbakov, Jüsüpakun Apay, Eshmat Manbetjüsüp,[1] and Togolok Moldo.
His version of 'Semetey', transcribed circa 1902, was published in Arabic script in Moscow in 1925 by Ishenaaly Arabaev.[2] This publication, transliterated into Latin script, with a new introduction, was printed in Berlin in 1943.[3] by 'S. Bet-Alman' (pseudonym of Satar Almanbetov).[4] As part of the Kyrgyz government funded 1000 years celebration of Manas, the work was republished, in Cyrillic script, in 1994.[5]
