Filmed at a January 5, 2022 concert at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, entitled "Si Lu Zhi Yue: Tang Yun Huixiang"《丝路之乐·唐韵回响》(Music of the Silk Road: Echoes of Tang Melodies), which featured reconstructed music (played on period instruments), dance, attire, and makeup of China's Tang Dynasty (唐代, 618-907), with accompanying digital projections featuring images from the Mogao and Kizil Caves, as well as pages from Medieval scores of Tang music.
The concert was co-organized by Shanghai Conservatory of Music musicology professor Dr. Zhao Weiping (赵维平, planning and artistic director) and Dai Xiaorong (代晓蓉, producer and visual director), who serves as the director of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's School of Digital and Media Arts. Professor Xu Jianqiang (徐坚强) served as the conductor, and Professor Wu Qiang (吴强) served as the ensemble director. Professor Zhang Lin (张麟) and Associate Professor Zhuang Li (庄丽) were invited to serve as dance director and designer.
Among the excerpts demonstrated in the video is "Jiu Huzi"《酒胡子》(The Wine Puppet, or the Drunken/Vinous Sogdian), a xiao qu (小曲, short instrumental piece) from China's repertory of Tang-era yanyue (燕乐, banquet music), which survives in the form of Medieval Sino-Japanese tablatures preserved in Japan.

The rhythm on kakko/jiegu reminds me of Indian classical music. It's quite fitting for it's origin.

Maybe a bit of Persian. Definitely not Indian.
