The general atmosphere of the performance, of course, is created by toyuk — a beautiful and rare kind of singing, an integral part of olonkho and the most important element of Yakut folk culture.
Olonkho as a cultural phenomenon testifies to the high development of the traditional Yakut society. Each member of the society was prepared for the perception of olonkho, and was also obliged to keep it in memory and pass it on by word of mouth. The epic structure of olonkho affected the main trends of artistic thinking among the Yakuts in the twentieth century, which formed a specific mentality and influenced the development of the creative path of the Yakuts.
