The research presents a description and analysis of the Evenki collective solo Yohor’e, which is a significant element of the cultural traditions of the Evenki of the western group.

The purpose of the research is to present an objective description of the original ethnographic traditions associated with the collective solo Yohor’e. The following tasks defined to achieve this goal: collection and publication of the collective solo descriptions from research materials of different historical periods; description of the structure, rhythm and movements of collective action; identification of the link of the solo with the typological traditions of the different groups of the Evenki; revealing the interlinked ideological and ritual traditions of the Evenki. The novelty of the publication lies in the definition of the etymology and the initial cultural genesis of the solo. The following methods chose to solve the tasks: descriptive, comparative methods, as well as the method of linguistic analysis. As part of this approach, the cultural element of the Evenki musical folklore considered from the position of commonality and local specifics of the folklore traditions. The results allow us to draw the following conclusions: the solo is a characteristic cultural element of the Evenki ethnographic complex of different local groups of Western Evenki; the solo has archaic origin and is interlinked with the ritual traditions of the Evenki; the etymology of the main lines of the solo associated with the symbolism of consanguinity; the structure of the solo typologically corresponds to the cultural traditions of the northern Tungus; the most ancient variant of the solo should be considered, similar to the solo of the Evens and Eastern Evenki.
