In this episode, I'm talking with Rawap and Dutar player, Mominjan Rahman from the Uyghur ethnic group. Rahman is a member of the Uyghur European Ensemble and tells me about his peoples' culture and music. Below are some links to expand on some of the talking points.
The 12 Muqam & Amannisakhan: https://en.chinaculture.org/library/2008-01/21/content_72053.htm
*Note that in the interview, I thought Amannisakhan was prevelent during the 1920s and 1930s. Actually, what Rahman was referring to that she was undertaking her work in her 20s and 30s during the sixteenth century.
Tashvay: A composer of many Uyghur pieces including Yaro, as performed by Rahman during the programme.
