Minister of Digital Technologies Sherzod Shermatov attended the launch ceremony and noted that the project was developed in line with the instructions issued by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during a meeting with representatives of the culture and arts sector held on June 1 this year.

The platform aims to preserve Uzbekistan’s rich cultural heritage through modern technologies, expand public access to traditional music, and increase interest in national musical art among younger generations.

Particular attention was given to the principle of inclusion, which reflects the company’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage and passing national values ​​on to future generations.

OHANG serves as a unified digital repository of Uzbekistan’s musical heritage. The platform features musical works, recordings of traditional instruments, archival materials, research resources, and educational content. Through modern digital tools, users can explore the country’s musical traditions in a convenient format and utilize selected materials for the creation of their own media content.

The project was developed following extensive research involving musicologists, art historians, cultural experts, and other specialists. As a result, unique materials related to Uzbekistan’s traditional musical heritage were collected, systematized, and digitized.

During the presentation, participants were introduced to the platform’s key features. As noted, OHANG functions not only as a digital archive but also as an educational platform that promotes national musical heritage among young people, researchers, and the wider public.
