AY BILBILIM Song Group sings Chuvash song "SHANKAR-SHANKAR." This song was one of the Turkic songs presented during a concert held at Stanford University on January 11, 2014. The birth of Chuvash nation is the result interaction between three Turkic tribes, Saar, Sabir and Mari, of Middle Idil (Volga) about thousand years ago. Chuvash people's belief derived from nature and they were free to practice their religion until the Muslim Kazan Khanate was overrun by Ivan the Terrible in 1552. Chuvash were then forced to accept Russian Orthodox belief system. Chuvash and Tatar peoples have lived side-by-side for thousand years and have very similar traditions. About two million people speak their native Chuvash language.
