Abstract
This article examines the historical formation, development, and cultural significance of bakhshi and epic storytelling schools in the traditional musical art of the Surkhandarya region. Particular attention is given to the Sherabad school of epic performance, its distinctive musical and poetic characteristics, performance techniques, and master-apprentice traditions. The study analyzes the role of folk epics in preserving historical memory, national identity, spiritual and moral values, and the cultural education of younger generations. Furthermore, the article explores the preservation of bakhshi art as intangible cultural heritage, its relationship with contemporary cultural processes, and its international recognition.References
