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 song praising the beautiful girl, Dumubak struck a very warm and joyful rhythm, in the bright and lively melody, the string sound of Echek became more rhythmic, and the strumming of Jevav was clever and comfortable, singing and dancing like the atmosphere, all the male voices in the generous and refreshing lead singing, one after another to each other. It was as if the heat could not be stopped for a moment, as if the fervour of life was driven on the galloping horse, and the pursuit of freedom and love was carried on the wings of the eagle high in the sky, and always in the direction of the majestic snow mountains and the sun.
