A 700-year-old folk melody from Xinjiang just got a Gen-Z glow-up! 🌙 The classic song 'The Half Moon Rising' from Kashi electrified audiences at China Media Group's 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, blending traditional Uygur instrumentation with pulsing electronic beats.
This modern remix celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's founding, showcasing how cultural heritage meets youthful innovation. Performers in vibrant costumes danced to the hybrid rhythm – part ancient Silk Road echo, part underground club vibe 🎧.
"We wanted to show Xinjiang's energy through music that speaks to all generations," said one producer backstage. The performance closed with a digital moon projection symbolizing unity, trending instantly on Chinese social media as #MoonriseRemix.
