• While living in the Swedish town of Eskilstuna, Kurash Sultan (who died in 2006) began the daunting task of collecting, publishing and recording the Uyghur cultural heritage. Several million people in Central Asia belong to the Uyghur ethnic grouping. Originally from Turkistan most now inhabit an autonomous region in the westernmost province of China.

• On this CD Kurash plays the dutar, a longnecked two stringed lute, and performs modern, secular interpretations of Uyghur folksongs and his own poems, completing an 11 section song cycle: Arkak Su
