Jeff Greene, from the global roots band, Tribecastan, plays the Uyghur Tambur. In 2010 Jeff travelled to Eastern Turkistan (Xinjiang) in search of the Dolan Muqam and brought home this gorgeous instrument. For more music and info, please visit us on the web at www.tribecastan.tv
The word tambur comes from the Arabic 'tunbur', and it is widely believed that this comes from the Sumerian word 'pantur', a semispherical stringed instrument with a long stem.
The Uyghur are a Turkic ethnic group living in Eastern and Central Asia. Today, Uyghurs live primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the People's Republic of China.
