Loved and admired as few other bands have ever been at Modernista, the amazing Uighur Sama Band, formerly known by the name of Akbar, is one of those that keep bringing month after month the energetic sounds of Xinjiang to China’s capital. A mixture of traditional Arabic songs and lively Spanish rumba classics, and with lyrics both in English and Uyghur, the band has entertained and impressed audiences for the past several years, gathering a loyal crowd for each of their performances.
