Tibetan Music : The music of the Himalayas

Waking Up Closer To Tibet

Tibetan music is the music of Tibet and is a reflection of its culture. The music can transport you imaginatively to the Himalayas. The tradition of singing Buddhist parables among Tibetans is over centuries old. Because of the high altitude, singing was a more convenient and entertaining form of communication for nomads and farmers. The most interesting thing about them was that even though they were illiterate, they would remember all chapters from the Tibetan epics by heart and would sing, dance, and also enact scenes. With time, different types of music developed in the region ie. religious, secular classical and folk, modern-day pop, and traditional eclectic. All of these genres have their own unique style.
