Tibetan Music

01/15/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Be advised: Tracks 13 & 14 are switched place. This CD is not really Tibetan music, but distinctly Bhutanese. If you have seen 7 Years in Tibet, listen to track 12; you will be surprised how much that song comes up in the movie. Ache Lhamo and The Horses of Jewel hill are also great, as are Bem, Lhasa Norbuling La (Lhasa Great Jewel Park), and pilgrim's song. The voice-warbling technique used so much rivals the kulwa (throat voice) chants of Tibet. These Performers are really talented. I haven't bought it yet, but since I relinqished it to my library ( kept it for months), I have not been able to find it. I also highly recomend volume 3 of this series, Instrumental and Folk Music. The first two just aren't really as good. Definitely a good buy! Enjoy!"
