Continuing the immortal art of Kurmangazy, which he foresaw, he remained in the history of the region not only with his masterful performance, but also with his kui. He learned from Kurmangazy and propagated his kuis (“Aday”,“Baizhuma”,“Toremurat”, “Teriskakpay”, etc.). Mamen, who has a deep knowledge of his teacher's performance style, has composed kuis “Ak Sholpan”, “Kaigyly kara”, “Karazhan khanym”, “Kerbez akzhelen” and others.
