A video of a woman from Kazakhstan playing a musical string instrument against the backdrop of a colored lake has gone viral on the internet. The clip was shared on Twitter by former Norway’s Minister of International Development Erik Solheim.
The one-minute video shows the performer, who is reportedly only 23 years old, playing melodic tunes on the dombra, a long-necked Kazakh musical instrument. Mr Solheim captioned the post: “A 23-year-old musician plays in Lake Kobeituz, a salt lake in Kazakhstan that turns pink every few years. Fashion, nature, vibes … beautiful.”

The video opens to show the young woman sitting on a chair in the shallows of the lake, holding the instrument. The artist had put a modern spin on traditional Kazakh clothing, combining a baby blue dress with a version of a decorative hat called a saukele — a headdress that Kazakh women would wear as brides.
