Techung on the beauty of traditional Tibetan music (Part 2)

Waking Up Closer To Tibet

This is part 2 of our conversation with the renowned Tibetan singer/songwriter Techung. The music of Tibet is as serene and beautiful as its picturesque landscape. If you thought that there is only one kind of music in Tibet, you are absolutely mistaken. Each province in the region has its own style of music. To dwell deeper into this and truly understand the beauty of traditional Tibetan music, Tenzin is in conversation with the award-winning Tibetan singer/songwriter - Techung. Techung is the co-founder of the San Francisco-based Chaksampa Tibetan Dance and Opera Company. Chaksampa made their debut at Carnegie Hall with Philip Glass, REM, Trey Anastasio, Shawn Colvin, and Patti Smith as part of New York Tibet House’s annual Monlam festival concert.
