Tulebaev Street in Almaty is one of the oldest and most colorful streets of the city, which preserves the spirit of the old city of Verny and at the same time lives the rhythm of a modern metropolis. This street is not just a part of the city map, but a kind of monument to the work and memory of the great Kazakh composer Mukan Tulebaev. Mukan Tulebaev (1913-1960) was an outstanding musician, conductor and teacher, who made a huge contribution to the development of Kazakh opera and symphonic music. It is after him that this cozy and historical street in the city center is named. The street starts from Abay Street and ends on Raimbek Street. The street is famous for being the quietest street in the city, intended for pedestrians, relaxation and pleasant pastime in the shade of the trees that grow there in abundance. Benches and small playgrounds for children are installed along the entire street. There are two more pedestrian streets in Almaty - Zhibek Zholy Street (Almaty Arbat) and Panfilov Street. They are both located next to Tulebayev Street.
Tulebayev Street has a special atmosphere. Pre-revolutionary and Soviet-era buildings have been preserved here, which are reminiscent of the time when Almaty was still called Verny City. Walking along Tulebayev, you can see cozy houses with characteristic architecture of the early 20th century, complemented by green courtyards and shady trees. Thanks to this, a calm, almost intimate atmosphere reigns here, contrasting with the noisy avenues nearby. The street has always been a popular place for walks due to its greenery and cozy atmosphere. In the evenings, you can meet musicians and artists here, and in the daytime - students and tourists who discover a little-known, but very soulful side of Almaty. Attractions such as the Semirechye Fountain and the monument to Mukan Tulebayev are located on this street.

Mukan Tulebayev -
The street is named after Mukan Tulebayev - an outstanding Kazakh public figure, composer, conductor, people's artist and one of the first national leaders of the early 20th century. The name of the street is a tribute to the memory of a man who made a significant contribution to the development of the Kazakh intelligentsia and national identity. He was born in the Almaty region, showed an early talent for music and received an education in Moscow, where he studied with outstanding masters of his time. His works were distinguished by deep national flavor, in them he organically combined Kazakh folk melodies and traditions with the European music school. His most famous work is the opera "Birzhan and Sara", which entered the golden fund of Kazakh classical music. It is considered the first major Kazakh opera, where the national culture and spirit of the people were embodied in music, dramaturgy and images. In addition, Mukan Tulebayev wrote many symphonic and chamber works, as well as choral and vocal compositions. Tulebayev's contribution to musical culture was truly priceless. His music was performed in the largest theaters and concert halls of the country, and the composer himself trained a whole galaxy of students. In 1951, he received the title of People's Artist of the USSR, which was a rare and special recognition for a Kazakh musician in those years.
The street named after him reflects the spirit of the composer himself. An atmosphere of creativity, tranquility and history reigns here. Old buildings with architectural elements of the 19th-20th centuries, green alleys and silence in the very center of Almaty make this street one of the most comfortable. For many city residents, it has become a symbol not only of old Verny, but also of respect for the cultural heritage of Kazakhstan.
