Yakut traditional songwriting retained its archaic features until the XVIII century. Since the XVIII century, changes have taken place in it associated with the processes of mutual influence of the musical cultures of the peoples of the North of Yakutia: Evens, Evenks, Yukagirs. Thanks to this, the enrichment of the Yakut folk song takes place. At the same time, regional styles were formed in the Yakut song tradition. In the XX century, under the influence of Russian song, the Yakut folk song begins to master European musical foundations: a tonal system, wide intonation turns. At the end of the XX century, songs created by melodists and Yakut pop music began to influence the song culture of the Sakha people. At this time, many phenomena of the Yakut folk song disappear. In the XXI century, the period of globalization processes on Yakut songwriting is negatively influenced by the mass media and the youth subculture. There are irreversible changes in the ethnic singing of the Yakuts, whole layers of Yakut folk songs disappear. Such negative processes lead to the breakdown of song traditions. Therefore, the issue of preserving certain relics of folk music of the Sakha people is especially acute.
