About album
Three years ago Namgyal Lhamo, her sister and a friend released Voices from Tibet as the group GangChenpa. Namgyal decided to release a solo album. Songs from Tibet is a personal choice of the songs she learned during her childhood. Namgyals passion is to explore the artistic challenges of Tibetan music. She had the great opportunity to hear and learn Tibetan songs from many famous musicians and singers. This heritage is shared in a pure form, but with her artistic interpretations. Tibetan songs provide the artist with the freedom in choosing the range of instruments to accompany the song and the way to express emotions. When performing Namgyal often uses the dranyen, or Tibetan lute. The light classical songs and some folk songs are accompanied by the gyumang which is similar to the Western hammered dulcimer. Tibetan opera is accompanied by a nga (drum) and buk (cymbals). Of course Tibet is famous for its religious music and chanting, but there is a beautiful heritage of worldly songs with wonderful melodies, beautiful lyrics, and a variety of styles and techniques in which the human voice is used.

About album
Namgyal Lhamo originally hails from Shigatse in Tibet. She was born into a family that was rich in the arts. Her uncle, the famous Toepa Chola Damdu, was a renowned musician from Lhasa. A natural born singer, Namgyal took to singing at a very young age and was chosen to be trained at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts in Dharamsala (India) established by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, to preserve the cultural identity of Tibetans.
She soon became the lead singer of the TIPA Opera and toured the world. Namgyal Lhamo expanded her creative sphere by taking up teaching at the institute and imparting the intricacies of her craft to aspiring young Tibetan singers. Lhamo’s training and discipline over the years has given rise to an exclusive sound that emits multi layering within her vocal pitches that create a rich ambience that often reflects their highland origin. Namgyal Lhamo performs solo and is accompanied on stage by her voice, the Tibetan lute (dranyen) and her independent spirit.
Pure is my epicentre. It is at the very core of the echoes that vibrate from the roof of the world. A land that will forever remain an enigma. My Tibet.
Namgyal LhamoArguably the best Tibetan traditional singer of our times. Her voice is absolute, pure and independent.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (India’s leading songwriters)
Tibet enters your soul when you reach the penultimate track. The depth of Namgyal Lhamo’s voice results from her untiring journey through a sacred space. […] She conquers time to infuse past musical influences with contemporary interpretations, resulting in pure magic. Not an album for casual listeners. […] Silk Road Communications, known as a label for respected artistes, presents a gift that will surely touch your heart.
Paul Mathures, The Statesman, June 24, 2007
