Uyghur dance: Dap usuli (Sun worship in Uyghurs)

amazing, thanks for posting this.

in response to aaronhurley: in anlo-ewe culture it is said "ela kuku dea 'gbe wu la gbagbe" which means, "a dead animal screams louder than a live one"

Bravo! It is beautiful!

I love uyghur culture and music. But I also love animals. I will become happy if the sound from the dap comes from a plastic and not from dead animal skin.

i was looking for another uyghur tribe dance that Im doin but i cant find it.I saw it once now I forgot. It starts with a group of people 1 person turns around then 2 then 3 andhen 4 and....yea.

AAAHHH, I love the sound of the Dap. I'm gonna order one of them very soon.

I hope u now that Uyghurs and Yugurs are totally different ethnic group~

no,body, history is here,we got ur history very clear,,thats Mao's policy that seprate the nations as much as he can like Stalin,,Uighur,and Yugurs orginally same,,CCP easly divided the Uighurs becoz,one part is Muslim,and other one is Buddisim,,even there were lots of Uighurs in modern Gansu province in china,,anyway,you should how to protect urself,cheers!

Their ancestors were not different. Their ancestors are the same.. Both people derived from old Uyghurs. By time some of Uyghurs did not become Muslim but maintained their former belief, so they became Yugurs. Those Uyghurs who adoped Islam retained their Uyghur name but were highly intermixed with Qarluqs ( another Turkic people) and assimilated them.

Uyghurs in Tarim Basin intermixed with Qarluks and adopted Qarluq type of Turkic language. And qarluqs living with Uyghurs adopted the name Uyghur for themselves.

إيه يا تركستان ..
