The head of this instrument is made of wood. My two brothers and I began to learn Hami Muqam when we were children. We've played it for about 20 years. People used to sing like this. They sang with a slow tone when necessary. Instruments like Suona, Rawap, Hami Rawap, Dutar and Tanbur are all included in Hami Muqam to make the music more graceful. After we moved to the intangible cultural heritage center, we've learned about Hami Muqam from the older generation of artists systematically. With young Hami Muqam performers here, we can learn from each other as well through this platform." Muqam, a traditional art of the Uygur ethnic group in X
