Bhutanese Songs!

[NancyRose11]

7 Singing Sisters of Dharma! Beautiful melody and there's a beautiful stupa in the background, too



[gedhun1985]

the stringed instrument accompanying, for the person who asked, is called dramnyen. this is a traditional instrument throughout the himalayan world. in tibet it has 6 strings, but in bhutan it has 7 and a special sound. in tibet, traditionally the best dramnyen players were tibetan muslim. this instrument is held in the hands of goddess yangchen lhamo (saraswati), so it's equivalent to the indian vina.

[phuntshotcz]

this song helps to keep culture of Bhutan in shape,, thanks for sharing

[radicalhit]

I am utterly baffled by how similar the traditional clothes look to our Nepalese traditional clothing (ones in the himalaya region) and they are beautiful people too.

[Saiaton]

@radicalhit Should you be surprised? Your nations are close together, your languages and culture all sprung first from Tibet and then from India (where you sent Buddhism in the first place). It is countries like yours that will preserve the best of Western technology for genuine use for the People when the 'brilliant barbarians' and their followers like Japan and India and China have destroyed themselves in primitive greed for profit of the few.

[tashizex7]

Proud to be a Bhutanses who has upholded the values passed on by the anscestors. Cheers! Palden Drukpa.. Lha Gyelo.. Long Live the Kings.

[kapellmeister51]

Incredibly beautiful -- the singing, the costumes, the dancers, and the wonderful spiritual tradition that inspired the music. Thank you.

✿♥✿♥ LIFE & LIBERATION OF PADMASAMBHAVA , Canto 65 describes the signs of respect for Samye monastery :"Whoever offers incense to Samye will awaken attention & obtain great riches." Thank you for uploading this beautiful song. English translation should be published in description. In Wisdom without borders ✿♥✿♥

Actually this people originally from Tibeten refugees in Bhutan. They claim they are Bhutanese but not......this is 21st century , open ur eyes and admit it . u r in cave like big lion by King, and try to know ABOUT RIGHTS. ITS NOT ONLY a la so la soooooo. ok. look around the world, what is going on?????Ok we have to respect King but only in limit. Bhutan is our ( people) country. King is not a GOD. kING IS LIKE US. I pray for god, soon and later, Free Bhutan from King.

[0purgyal0]

Keep it up.This is as genuine as it gets.

When you do something without pretension and which truly comes from your heart ( culturally) then there is poetry!

[CRYinTHeDArKxXsShH1]

[mauryansamrat]

Bhutanes are the happiest people. . .really lucky!

[dathador]

haha.....yea..thanks

[intellectbug]

@mauryansamrat do you know there are fucking bhutanese all over the world as a refugee what the fuck about lucky and happy what a moron in youtube!!

[tangocharlie506]

@intellectbug fuck yourself u ass

[tangocharlie506]

@intellectbug fuck yourself u asshole......don't even say a letter abt Bhutan and Bhutanese when you have zero idea about it and its people...I will hang up upside down on your balls ....take care of your fucking mouth and try to use to effectively when u are alive psycho u

[exindeye]

@intellectbug I would learn the complete reason why there are bhutanese refugees before calling anyone a moron. That way I wouldn't appear so ignorant. However, anyone here calling people names in the first place probably has a lot of learning to do.

[yakmanok]

Absolutely gorgeous song. Beautiful ladies too. I love Bhutan. I am going to Bhutan for vacation and may be marry a bhutanese woman. They are so beautiful.

[Drukstylz]

the song is over 1,000 years old

[Kumari58787]

I feel a spiritual feeling while listening to this song.

[Taddo2012]

Listen to the man at the beginning.

He says it was composed by The Guru Rinpoche and his followers on the Samye Monastry.

[Taddo2012]

I am going to Bhutan for vacation!

[trymbjonnes]

absolutely gorgeous! does anyone know the name of the group/lead singer? i tried to google the displayed name, but couldn't find anything.

[dathador]

nahh....u will not find on the net...theses songs r really old so probably no one knows who sung. u might find if u visit thimphu..

[lordsvarte]

It's hard to find Traditional Bhutanese Music, these complex vocal lines are interesting for those seeking distinct harmony concepts.

[kenchogyeltshen]

Very nice traditional song and it reminds the innocent bhutanese society

[kenchogyeltshen]

Very nice song that reminds me of the innocent bhutanese society

[Drukstylz]

Yes, I hear you...calling me home

[E9676]

good

[BIGpapaUS]

this is excellent!!1

[tamadw]

Thanks, sounds great, interesting, nice capture with the back ground and presentation and just different. I wonder just what the words are to the songs.

[uktheboy]

Beautiful!

[1singlet]

Very interesting. It is a very naturalistic, yet spiritual presentation. The effect of the seven singers is multiplied through the vocal modifications. They 'echo' as the hills. I am not religious, but find this close to that meaning.

[brseavey]

Thank you for posting this.

[rakanzrib]

Thanx kotadaza for posting this inspiration from the ages!! Very morally uplifting ^^^^

God bless this human race and this Earth!

[declan1996]

CHING CHONG HONG KONG ME WONG

[ssni]

[brseavey]

Nice!

[gasbatee]

I would like to thank Kotadaza for his excellent job. This song is very good and remind me back home, the tradition and the culture of Bhutan.
