Editor's note: Chasing Muqam is a CGTN Digital documentary series that explores the legacy of Muqam, a traditional Uygur art form that blends song, music and dance. Nadim Diab travels across Xinjiang to meet the people carrying this tradition forward – listening, learning, and ultimately attempting to capture the soul of Muqam in a performance.

CGTN's Nadim Diab lands in Turpan, China's hometown of grapes and the birthplace of a Muqam genre that takes its name. Between the Valley of Grapes and the Flaming Mountains, the hottest place in the country, Nadim understands why the melodies born there are sweet and the spirit of its people burns with a fiery passion.
