original notes:
---
A phenomenal performance by the monks of a Tibetan monastery.
The performances are very traditional with comments between each piece
(somewhat audible).
I must admit some of the magic is lost because you dont get to see any
of the dancing was going on
(listen to the Yak Dance and imagine a guy dressed in a
beautiful, massive Yak costume jumping and writhing on stage!)
but its stillpretty amazing. All the horns, cymbals, bells,
and instruments that Tibetan music brings to mind is here
along with the unique style of throatsinging they've developed.
Enjoy! Do not convert to MP3, do not Sell.
