│ MiNDSCAPE Jazz Division brings to the table another release ││
│ . . . ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Ok one of our important Jazz suppliers asked us to release ││
│ this with no further questions asked and we will abide with ││
│ his wishes . . . ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ This is some interesting meditative world music that all may ││
│ enjoy. If nobody knows who this Yungchen Lhamo is, we will ││
│ bring you some insight why we think she is an important ││
│ figure to us in this world. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Please purchase this CD . . . It will clear up our karma ││
│ thinking we did a bad thing . . . We want everyone to enjoy ││
│ the music yet we hope you will have a nice heart and support ││
│ this young ladies talents . . . ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Since fleeing Tibet on foot in 1989, Yungchen Lhamo has ││
│ emerged as the leading Tibetan vocalist on the world stage. ││
│ From the quays of Sydney, Australia to the spotlight of ││
│ Carnegie Hall, her a cappella performances have enchanted ││
│ audiences in more than 70 countries since she began touring ││
│ professionally in 1994. ││
│ ││
│ Yungchen's name was given to her by a Tibetan lama when she ││
│ was a baby and translates to "Goddess of Melody and Song." ││
│ Since the release of her award-winning first album Tibetan ││
│ Prayer, her music has met with critical praise worldwide, ││
│ alternately described as "beautifully evocative," ││
│ "mesmerizing," "spine-tingling," and "transcendent." Her ││
│ songs take listeners on an emotive journey across plateaus ││
│ and soaring over vistas, with a charge and a charisma no ││
│ doubt informed by her remarkable life story. ││
│ ││
│ Born in a labor camp outside Lhasa in Chinese-occupied ││
│ Tibet, Yungchen began working in a carpet-weaving factory at ││
│ the age of five. Tibetan singing was one of many customs ││
│ banned by the Cultural Revolution, which began violently in ││
│ Tibet in 1959. It was in this inhospitable setting that her ││
│ grandmother taught Yungchen the devotional singing she has ││
│ shared with audiences around the world. ││
│ ││
│ At the end of a dangerous 1,000-mile escape across the ││
│ Himalayas, Yungchen arrived in India, where she visited ││
│ numerous Tibetan refugee camps and had the opportunity to ││
│ meet the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, His ││
│ Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. Recognizing the ││
│ ability in Yungchen's performances, he encouraged her to go ││
│ and share with western people the richness of Tibetan ││
│ culture through the beauty of her voice. ││
│ ││
│ "When I left Tibet, I lost everything," Yungchen recalls. ││
│ "The one thing I didn't lose was my voice. And this I ││
│ carried with me to the West." ││
│ ││
│ In concert, Yungchen performs with almost no music ││
│ accompaniment, so that the focus of the audience's attention ││
│ fixes on the pliant tonal qualities of her inimitable voice. ││
│ Dressed in cream-colored Tibetan silk, with orange cuffs, ││
│ turquoise jewelry and hair cascading below her waist, ││
│ Yungchen casts a regal presence onstage that one journalist ││
│ described as "more like a head of state than [a] musician on ││
│ her first trip to America." ││
│ ││
│ Onstage, Yungchen's eyes search deep into the audience, as ││
│ if recalling some distant melody, with notes emanating from ││
│ a powerful center to the far reaches of the venue in what ││
│ reviewers have aptly termed "a voice from the skies." Her ││
│ songs explore traditional Tibetan themes of spiritual ││
│ pilgrimage, soul-searching and a delight in the natural ││
│ environment. For example, lines from the song "Par Panee ││
│ Dawa Shar" from the album Tibet, Tibet intone: ││
│ ││
│ There where the moon rises ││
│ Reminds me of my lama's face ││
│ Remembering your kindness ││
│ I make offerings of song and dance ││
│ ││
│ Since being signed to Peter Gabriel's Real World Records ││
│ label, Yungchen has released two critically-acclaimed ││
│ albums, Tibet, Tibet and Coming Home (produced by Hector ││
│ Zazou). Her music has appeared on Natalie Merchant's ││
│ platinum-selling Ophelia, the compilation disc Lilith Fair: ││
│ A Celebration of Women in Music, on the soundtrack to the ││
│ Hollywood film Seven Years in Tibet, and in a handful of ││
│ documentaries. Yungchen was one of the Real World artists ││
│ featured in a recent one-hour music television special by ││
│ National Geographic called Songs Under a Big Sky. The show ││
│ was produced and directed by Michael Coulson, who also ││
│ directed Yungchen's first music video, "Happiness Is." ││
│ ││
│ Yungchen has also performed in support of many Tibet ││
│ organizations, including Tibet House New York, The Milarepa ││
│ Fund, Students For a Free Tibet, Tibet Relief Fund, ││
│ Australian Tibet Council, The Dalai Lama Trust New Zealand, ││
│ AIPLP, the Pema Tsal School in India and for such aid groups ││
│ as Amnesty International, Walk Against Want, Reebok Human ││
│ Rights Awards, IUCN and Survival International. At such ││
│ events, she has performed alongside a variety of luminaries, ││
│ including Philip Glass, Annie Lennox, Michael Stipe and ││
│ Sheryl Crow. ││
│ ││
│ Yungchen is currently at work on her much-awaited fourth ││
│ album, in what promises to be the next chapter in an already ││
│ exquisite musical career. ││
│ ││
│ Yungchen Lhamo now lives and makes music in New York City. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Ok you have the history, so again please enjoy and for all ││
│ the cute Jazz kittiez out there :) please be patient as we ││
│ will have more Jazz releases shortly. We are just taking a ││
│ little break with some meditative release. ││
