Togolok Moldo (real name — Bayymbet Abdrakhmanov, 1860—1942) — an outstanding manaschi and akyn-writer.
He was born in the village of Kurtka, now in the Ak-Tal district of the Naryn region, in the family of musician Abdyrahman. After his father's death, he was raised by his uncle, the famous singer and komuz player Muzooke Jamankaraev. The storyteller Tynybek Zhapiev also played a significant role in Bayymbet's creative development. Abdrakhmanov-the manaschi sang the second and third parts of the great epic.
In the people’s eyes, the literate storyteller and akyn was nicknamed Togolok Moldo (Round-faced Mullah). He recorded both folk and his own poetic texts, which are now preserved in the manuscript collection of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic.
