Erkin Abdulla, the king of pop songs in Xinjiang, who became popular with songs such as Balangzai, Where's My Girl and Loulan Girl, returned to Xinjiang with his seventh album Footprints, where he made his debut in Urumqi and held a live album premiere. Xinjiang is Ai Erken's hometown, so the first concert will be held in his hometown, which is naturally welcomed by fans in his hometown. After the news of the first concert was sent through the media in Ai Erken and Weibo, many fans came to the signing ceremony early to see the idol style. The brokerage company fully opened the first concert without admission tickets and tickets, in order to let more fans interact with Ai Erken at close range.
In the first concert, Ai Erken sang songs from her new album, such as Missing, Dancing Beat, Yang Shulin and River in My Hometown. After several years of accumulation, the melody trend and arrangement style of the songs in the new album have changed greatly. Ai Erken introduced that the new album Footprints has a great breakthrough compared with the previous six albums. The new album uses many more scientific and professional techniques such as modeling and counterpoint in western classical music composition techniques. The arranger is based on grand symphonic music, with Xinjiang national musical instruments such as Ai Jieke and Dutar, and world national musical instruments such as Turkish flute Salim and Turkish kalongqin, which enriches the main theme.

Venue: At the invitation of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, the Urumqi tour is to perform for overseas compatriots and local audiences in a distant South American foreign land on the occasion of the Lunar New Year. As the first stop, Ai Erken's enthusiastic singing accompanied by a gorgeous guitar performance conquered the equally enthusiastic Brazilian audience. In the performance, Ai Erken not only sang the classic songs "Balangzi" and "Where is My Girl" from the first six albums, but also sang the songs from the seventh Qvanxian Zhang album "Footprints" just released in China. It is worth mentioning that, based on Xinjiang folk music, the new album "River of Hometown", which combines flamenco and Latin music styles, has won unanimous praise from Brazilian audiences. Ai Jieke, a national musical instrument in Xinjiang, has a brisk rhythm and dazzling brilliance, which makes the Brazilian audience who can sing and dance dance with the music.
Music has no borders, and Ai Erken's rich Xinjiang folk music is similar to Latin music in South America. There are many similar elements in the music structure. Xinjiang music is mostly Latin music with mixed rhythms such as 7/8 and 5/8, and also has this rhythm form. In tune, most of them are minor. There are so many similarities in music that it is naturally very popular with local audiences. South America is also a region where guitars are popular. During the intermission, Ai Erken learned piano skills from local guitarists, and improvised with South American artists, singing many classic Xinjiang folk songs and local songs. South American songs combined with Xinjiang music style have a unique feeling, which also reflects the inclusiveness of Ai Erken music and its unique advantages in foreign cultural exchanges.
Ai Erken's two-month trip covers almost the entire South American continent, from Rio in Brazil, the soccer kingdom, to Buenos Aires in Argentina, from Ecuador, the "equatorial country", to Peru, the corn warehouse, covering thousands of kilometers. Ai Erken has collected music materials from various countries and many South American songs that have never been heard in China. While studying, he digested and absorbed the nutrients of South American folk songs and incorporated his own style into his music creation, which was also an important lesson of this tour. Constant learning will keep the source of creation and the vitality of music for a long time. Ai Erken said that the concerts she learned in South America will be applied to the creation of her next album. I believe that Ai Erken's music will be more characteristic of world music.
