Tarim

Theirs are the ancient songs of the Silk Road, the melodies of the Uygurs, the Kazaks, the Kirkiz; the rhythms of the Hui, the Uzbek, and Tatars. As you listen, close your eyes–the sounds will take you to the spice markets, deserts, and vineyards of western China, a land of vast contrast, scale, and history. Experience Tarim (pronounced tah-rim), an ensemble of musicians and dancers from the Cultural Bureau of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
