Uyghur European Ensemble is a cultural artistic and music group that was established in 2019 by a group of diaspora Uyghur folk artists and musicians from Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, France, England, and Belgium. The ensemble currently focuses on maintaining Uyghur culture traditions in western countries and conducting public performances or shows of Uyghur folk music, particularly the 12 Muqam folk repertoire. But the Ensemble is also dedicated to keeping endangered Uyghur culture alive and passing it on to future generations, so they are collecting and conducting research on the Uyghur music and lyrics prohibited by the Chinese government.
