This chapter examines the archetypal, symbolic, and psycho-emotional models of Kazakh traditional song, based on the musical-poetic genre qara öleñ and the broader folkloric tradition. The study aims to reveal the interaction between collective forms of folkloric creativity and individual lyrical expression within traditional song culture. An interdisciplinary approach is employed, integrating ethnomusicology, cultural studies, and psychological analysis of musical-poetic texts. The research analyzes archetypal structures, symbolic imagery, and intonational and psycho-emotional models of traditional singing. Special attention is given to gender differences in performance practice. Male lyricism is associated with philosophical reflection on life, fate, and love, while female performance emphasizes emotional expression and family values. The findings demonstrate that archetypes and symbols of traditional song reflect cultural memory, and that the interaction between collective and individual forms constitutes a complex system of artistic expression.
