Tibet
Yungchen Lhamo's sublime voice has filled the Tibetan mountains and valleys. Born and raised in the Tibetan capital Lhasa, she left her home in 1989, crossing the Himalayas and taking refuge in Dharamsala (the home of the Dalai Lama) until 1993 when she moved to Australia. Yungchen sings Tibetan Buddhist folk stories and myths from the Lhamo tradition with a voice which is as awe- inspiring as the mountains of her country. Reminiscent of the solo genius of Sheila Chandra, Yungchen's performances will provide one of those special moments of WOMADELAIDE.
