Awat Dolan – 2 recordings rescued from an old tape given to me in Aksu. Dolan music from the town of Awat. Heavy, almost rock and roll rhythms kick in about 2 minutes in. Each track is about 10 minutes long. Unknown vintage.

    I agree with you, I definitely think that Dolan is form of Uyghur folk rock’n'roll or heavy rap by its melodics and rhythm:))))
