Compilation of CCTV material of Urumuqi
Ethnic music by Uygur and Hui performers
Urumuqi in the western province of Xinjiang is actually a Han city (70%) but it contains a large Uygur population who are the majority peoples in Xinjiang. The Hui minority is the other major group of non Han residents.
Despite the 2009 riots the city remains booming thanks to the fossil fuels industries, central government stimulus and trade with neighboring countries (Russia, Kazachstan, Pakistan to name a few).
