ALBUM REVIEW: TECHUNG - LAM LA CHE - ON THE ROAD

Lam La Che has 19 tracks of beautiful Tibetan music, blending traditional with contemporary styles. Several of the tracks are instrumentals, with the lyrics in an accompanying booklet (in both English and German) for the vocal tracks as well as descriptions of the wordless pieces.

My personal favorite track is Lama Khen, stemming from the final cries from some of those who have sacrificed their lives in the name of Tibet. The title song's lyrics are a poem by the well-known blogger-poet Woeser, now set to music. The sounds of tracks 10 and 18 stand out as somewhat different, also breaking the album into segments along with the instrumental/vocal track variations.

I would recommend this 2013 release to those interested in Tibetan music, those wishing to sample something slightly different for playing in the house while cooking or doing chores, and those who simply enjoy beautiful sounds.

The album can be purchased HERE, you can see a video for my favorite track HERE, & you can find out more about Techung HERE.
