Book Description
Over the past 50 years the Sufi poetry of the Uyghur muqam song tradition has been transformed into a cultural canon used to represent the Uyghur ethnic group within China and on world stages. This book compares the cultural materials, skills and contexts of traditional muqam performance with those of the 'modern' repertoire.
