Instrumental Uyghur music (Violin - Ghijek - Hushtar)

Uyghur music by the best Ghijek player

[@hagadax]

I heard a good combination of Uighur instrument and European song. I liked it....

Dear Duldul601! Do you have any folk music that doesn't have any modern instruments involved? I'm mostly interested in pentatonic tunes. Best regards from Hungary (Madjaristan) :D

I found the spelling of this instrument in Uyghur: غېجەك

[@dbadagna]

@Qelender What does that mean?

[@Qelender]

@dbadagna it means that Uyghur culture is pretty various. there are versions of the classic ghejek - Qumul and Dolan ghejeks, which differ from the classic form by sound and appearance.

[@dbadagna]

Do you know how to spel "ghijek" in Chinese characters?

Sad news: Mr. Akram Omar (艾克热木·吾买尔 / ئەكرەم ئۆمەر, b. February 1963) died in Beijing on the morning of June 2, 2012, at the age of 48. baike.baidu.com/item/%E8%89%BE%E5%85%8B%E7%83%AD%E6%9C%A8%C2%B7%E5%90%BE%E4%B9%B0%E5%B0%94

[@Qelender]

for a fuller picture i think there should be at least satar and Qumul and Dolan versions of ghejek :)

[@dbadagna]

I found the name of this musician in Uyghur and Chinese. You can add it to your video description. Akram Omar ئەكرەم ئۆمەر 艾克热木·吾买尔

[@dbadagna]

@dbadagna I found it: 艾捷克. You might want to add that spelling to your tags.

@@licheong I am myself a Jew who lost many relatives to Auschwitz in the Holocaust. I also knew Mr. Akram Omar personally, and am well aware of the genocidal campaign the CCP has been waging against the Uyghurs and other minority groups since 2017. To answer your question, when doing research about Uyghur musicians, it can be helpful to know how to spell their names in both languages because there could be articles or other materials about them on the Internet in both languages. Adding tags for the player's name and instrument in multiple languages can also help more people to find this video, keeping in mind that many people around the world are not fluent in the Uyghur language, but might instead search using Chinese characters or the Latin alphabet (i.e., romanized Uyghur or Chinese). Keep in mind that the uploader of this video still, years after having been asked to do so, hasn't even done the late Mr. Akram Omar the basic courtesy of adding his name to the video title or video description, in any language.
