Heat-heat - Kazakh ritual and household song, performed at a wedding during the farewell to the bride . It is performed in the form of aytys between dzhigits and girls [1] . The main content of the song is admonition to a girl who leaves for foreign lands. She wants to be a friendly hostess in a new home, have children, live a happy life.
The heat-heat is traditionally performed after the completion of all entertainment related to the wires of the girl, just before her departure [2] . However, now the heat-heat is sung not only on the wires of the bride, but also directly at weddings and has the character of a theatrical performance.

Women's parties usually set out in a minor mode and develop as follows: the upward movement after stopping at the top sound is replaced by the descent to the tonic [2] .
