“有人把刀郎木卡姆称为‘中亚爵士’。当卡龙和热瓦普弹起切分节奏的即兴段落时，你就真的可以感觉到这种说法的含义。”

——何翠桥，英国伦敦大学亚非学院民族音乐学高级讲师

“刀郎木卡姆是复调音乐，每一件乐器都演奏不同的旋律或节奏。这使得人们把它与新奥尔良爵士相比较，甚至把它称为中国沙漠爵士。”

——Jeff Greene，艺术家、音乐家

麦盖提刀郎木卡姆——来自维吾尔族的传统歌舞

麦盖提刀郎木卡姆来自新疆麦盖提县，由一群极富激情的民间艺人组成。他们的演出包含了刀郎人的传统音乐、舞蹈以及游戏等。乐团曾两次受邀在上海世界音乐周（后更名为“上海世界音乐季”）上表演，并曾在北京的798艺术区和杭盖音乐节上演出，均反响热烈；他们在国际上也广受欢迎，曾应邀参加2005年法国巴黎想象艺术节、2006年伦敦萨拉姆音乐村音乐节和2012年德国鲁多尔施塔特音乐节等。 

刀郎人居住在新疆南部塔克拉玛干沙漠边缘的叶尔羌河、塔里木河流域。荒僻和闭塞的地理位置造就了刀郎歌舞的独特风情。刀郎木卡姆是刀郎人的传统音乐舞蹈套曲，作为维吾尔木卡姆的一部分被联合国教科文组织认定为非物质文化遗产，它蕴涵着刀郎人的灵魂，已经传承了数百年。

刀郎艺人在演唱木卡姆时总是用尽全力，以至于他们的歌声听起来更像是呼喊。当他们一起击打手鼓的时候，鼓声所产生的震撼不亚于现代的摇滚乐。卡龙、刀郎热瓦普、刀郎艾捷克等乐器的独特音色与歌声鼓声交织在一起，再配以刀郎舞旋转的舞步，会带人进入一种恍惚的状态。

“Some people like to call the Dolan Muqam ‘Central Asian jazz’, and you can really hear where that idea comes from when the melodic instruments, kalun and rawap, start up their improvised syncopated riffs.”

— Rachel Harris, SOAS University of London 

“...the Dolan Maqam is polyphonic, with each instrument playing a different melody or rhythmic line. This has led to it being compared to New Orleans Jazz and even being called Chinese Desert jazz.” 

— Jeff Greene, artist and musician 

Mekit Dolan Muqam: Traditional Music and Dance of Uyghur

Founded by a group of passionate folk artists from Mekit County, Xinjiang, the Mekit Dolan Muqam Group performs traditional music and dance of the Dolan people, a sub-group of the Uyghur people. They have twice been invited to perform at Shanghai World Music festival and have made a splash in Beijing 798 Art Zone and at Hanggai Music Festival. They are also well received on international level, having been invited to perform in many stages such as Le Festival de l’Imaginaire in Paris, France in 2005, Salaam Music Village Festival, in London, UK in 2006, and Rudolstadt Festival, Germany in 2012. 

Since ancient times, Dolan people have been living as hunters on the edge of the formidable Taklamakan Desert, where the Yarkand and Tarim rivers flow. The unique environment has bestowed on them a unique culture, which is reflected in the Dolan Muqam, a traditional music-poetry suite that has been transmitted orally for centuries. It is considered part of the Uyghur Muqam, which has been designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. 

In Dolan Muqam, musicians always sing with all their strength that the singing may actually sound like roaring. The beating of their hand drums is so heavy that the dynamic created can be compared to the drumming in rock music. The timbres of kalun, Dolan rawap (a plucked instrument) and Dolan gijak (a vertically-held fiddle), interwoven with a chorus of singers and drummers and presented with the swirling Dolan dance, will create a trance-like atmosphere for the audience to rejoice.
