Sherap Dorjee and his band Shang Shung Da Yang originate from Western
Tibet and live in exile in Ladakh, an Himalayan region of Tibetan
culture situated in India. Aiming to safeguard their endangered
cultural heritage, they have acquired an impressive knowledge of the
old lyrical repertoire of the «Thot tso Yul Duk valleys». The songs are
accompanied on the kovo lute, the lingbu flute, the gyumang zither… and
jerrycans to replace the daf drums. This CD reveals melodies full of
mountain poetry, which have resounded in the highest valleys of the
world for centuries. Richly illustrated CD booklet. Another rare
recording.
