Abstract
The “Ejine Folk Songs” album is an output of the government supported Ejine Torghut Folk Song Conservation Project. It has 5 DVDs with 130 songs sung by 55 singers. 34 singers in the album have already passed away. Choidandar, a professor from the North Western Nationalities University and the academic consultant of the project, suggests that in the next stage they will urgently collect every piece of folklore from elders. In the release ceremony as recorded in the video, the album is officially presented to the Ejine banner’s government departments, cultural associations and singers.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwi
