People are Glorious: Sanubar Tursun and "Ademler Ulugh"

A Uyghur musician provides our random tune for today, called Ademler Ulugh (People are Glorious). Sanubar Tursun has established herself as a leader among Uyghur female singer-songwriters. She is a multi-instrumentalist, with virtuosity in both the chang (hammer dulcimer) and on the dutar (a long, two stringed lute). Originally from Xinjiang, she is part of a musical family which includes her well-known younger siblings Hesenjan and Husenjan Tursun. She is currently studying musical composition in Shanghai. You can find Ademler Ulugh on the 2012 various artists compilation Music of Central Asia, Vol. 10: Borderlands.
