Shamshi was born in 1930 in the South Kazakhstan region, in a modest house. The name of the firstborn is borne by Jamshit himself, who ruled the country. As a child, Shamshi, who became obsessed with singing, once attracted her father's mandolin to music. However, she was forced to enroll in animal science, fulfilling the promise made to her parents and the high hopes of her family. Nevertheless, his talent soon leads to the path of the art of the great composer known as the “padisha of the world of Song.”
Love for his native land, longing for his mother, a passionate feeling and a deep understanding of life became the reason for the release of the most popular songs. The lyrics of songs on this topic were written by such poets as Muzafar Alimbayev, Zhumeken Najvedenov, Mukagali Makatayev, Tolegen Aibergenov. "I must have cried so much for how many songs I've composed so far..."each song and melody of Shamsha reveals her personal attitude and inner state. Thus, the musical drama unfolds the origin story and the difficult fate of the best songs over more than 40 years of creative activity.
