Abstract: This article examines the historical roots of musical culture in the Khorezm oasis based on scientific sources and oral folk traditions. The study analyzes the ancient traditions of professional musical performance in Khorezm through the wall paintings of Tuproqqal’a, the palace culture of the Khorezmshahs period, and the activities of musicians and performers. Particular attention is paid to the origin of the rubab instrument, its role in the musical environment of Khorezm, and its connection with the musical culture of the East, as interpreted in the works of such thinkers as Abu Nasr Farabi, Darvesh Ali, Fitrat, and Jalaliddin Rumi. The article also highlights the interrelation between the double-bodied rubab, the tar instrument, and the traditions of Khorezm epic performance, as well as the musical and stylistic features of dastan performance practices. The research concludes that the musical culture of Khorezm represents one of the most ancient and unique layers of Uzbek national art and demonstrates its close connection with the broader musical heritage of Eastern peoples. Keywords: Khorezm musical culture, rubab, double-bodied rubab, tar, baxshi tradition, epic performance, Khorezmshahs, maqom, folk music, Eastern musical heritage.
