The Tajiks living on the eastern side of the Pamir Plateau and in Tashkurgan, Shache, Yechen and other places have a long and diversified musical tradition. Their settlements are located at the most mysterious and beautiful crossroads of the ancient Silk Road. All ethnic groups in the Western regions, as well as ancient Persian, ancient Indian and ancient Arab civilizations, have left their marks on Tajik music. The Musical Instruments of Tajik nationality are rich and similar to those of Uyghur nationality, but they retain their own ethnic characteristics. The tabla Dabu has a wide poplar frame, covered with animal skin, the string instrument Aichek has a unique violin case, the plucked instrument Tajdalzhwaf is often dug out of whole apricot wood, the sheep casing string, and the most noticed and praised Tajik eagle whistle "Nai"...

For example, in this Baramak, the Dumubak palpitates with a very elastic rhythm, and the linting sound of the hot wapu flows out like a clear spring or a pearl, while the sound of the Echek string undulates freely among the bright melodies, the winding curves of the land lines on the Pamir Plateau, and the male voices lead the song in a relaxed, generous and generous chant. With passion, as if they were talking to each other, and as if they were driving and driving on horseback, each other coherent, with a momentum. In the middle of the music, after three repetitions of the phrase and a powerful cry, there is a string of gripping and scattered percussion melody, and then the music is repeated, as if the return trip after the victory of the sheep.
