The great Kazakh poet Abai Kunanbaiuli was born in 1845 in the Chinghis Mountains in Semipalatinsk Region.His father Kunanbai,a stern and wilful steppe ruler, was an elder of the Tobykty clan. Abai’s  mother, Ulzhan was a wonderful woman with her innate reserve and tolerant. She loved Abai best of all her children and affectionately loved called him Abai instead of Ibraghim-the name given the boy by his father. In early childhood he has been in madrasah of Ahmed-Riza imam. At the same time he was studying in Russian school and by the end of five years’ study he starts to write poems. From the age 13 Kunanbai starts to accustom Abai to administrative activity of the head of a sort.Abai became a symbol of friendship and brotherhood between the Russian and Kazakh cultures.

He loved Pushkin, Lermontov, Krylov, Saltykov-Shedrin and Tolstoy.Abai composed several melodies. He also wrote music for his translations from Eugene Onegin. He composed about twenty melodies.
