Yangchen Lhamo - Tibetan Music Video

[Noukou]

Chinese propaganda.

[kalvadenpa]

this is song from tibet and tibetan song couse its khampa song.if u dont like then who cares...there are more khampa in tibetan then utsang so this song belongs to kahm and tibet....these days in tibet khampa songs are most popular...

[guranboroda]

Очень понравилось. Знаю немного бурятский(хоринский), и монгольский но смысла песни не понимаю совсем (на каком языке говорят тибетцы-не знаю, наверное на тибетском) однако, похожий танец есть у бурят. Как перевести эту песню на русский (бурятский, монгольский )? P.S. А какой голосище у солистки,а,

ее и Пелагею вместе бы свести...

[FreedomIsYourCover]

This Yangchen Lhamo (央金拉姆) was born in Weixi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. She finished college in Yunnan Music Academy in 2000 and produced several albums. She is loved by millions in China for her beauty and voice.

There is another artist by the same name. She was born in Tibet and went to college in Shanghai Ethnic Music Academy. She is the chairwoman of the China Overseas Tibetan Association and lives in the States.

tibet music

[PriolTorcy]

Tibet libre, vite !

[asmt08]

Is this really Tibetan music? It is really Chinese to me.

[kyleeboss]

free tibet !!!!!!!!!!!!! xox

[sephardicmale]

isn't it funny how people are whining about how the chinese oprressing the tibetans yet at the same time watching tibetans IN TIBET dancing and singing making music videos

[pwnednooblar]

It's not funny, it makes perfect sense.. You are NOT going to see any music videos of miserable Tibetans coming from within Tibet.. The Communist Chinese government would not allow anything that's harmful to it's cause to be released. They will however fully support videos of happy dancing Tibetans.

Control the money, control the media, control the education - effectively control the people. Control the media that is released to the world and control the world's opinion of the situation.

[sephardicmale]

pwnednoobar the only people that are whining about tibetans being miserable are exiles themselves who never visited tibet since 1959 tibet's population rose from 1 million to nearly 3 million since 1959, they are exempt from the one child policy, they are educated both in tibetan and chinese. they get extra credits when they graduated from school and going to university, and some govt positions re reserved only for tibetans

[HumanRightsVideosT]

FYI

Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans have been KILLED since the INVASION of independent Tibet in 1949.

And the invasion of Tibet is STILL continuing in 2009 with more and more Han migrating to Tibet.

Free Tibet from RACIST State TERRORISM.

[sephardicmale]

so where are the mass graves? explain the increase in the population from 1 million in 1959 to nearly 3 million today? where are the dead bodies? contrary to CIA created propaganda(read the book CIA in tibet)Tibet was never independent

[HumanRightsVideosT]

There are about 6 million Tibetans in Tibet today. So perhaps your facts are wrong or you have got the wrong country.

[DaPhillosophizer]

@pwnednooblar The funny thing is that most information given to Americans about Tibet is through the filter of the mainstream media. I really felt sorry for the oppression of the Tibetans until I actually went there only to see them very wealthy. They were charging fees to enter temples and giving generous blessings for people willing to pay 1000 yuan. Did you know China pays 4 billion a year to develop Tibet? I wonder if America invests this much in their minorities?

[McLarensupporter]

I wish people would stop politicizing this song...just enjoy the muisc, bitches.

[JazzyTea]

I wonder, what would tibetian monks say on this....

[rameshputtur2]

Free Tibet

Chinese are thugs, pakis are Rakkit Mards

[poppy90290]

SAVE TIBET! The Sacred Land forever!

tashi delek

[sephardicmale]

china's population increased from 400 million to over 1 billion in the last 50 years tibet's population also increased from 1 million to nearly 3 million in the last 50 years. where is is the evidence of mass sterilizations?

[ganz0rg]

Be cool man. where is your evidence that tibetans are increased from 1 to 3 million? you, chinese guys can claim everything orally and show selfmade documentations all time. we all know that HAN CHINESE multiply not only day by day, but second by second as like worms:) who knows.

[aawesomeworld]

had the pleasure of experiencing this lovely singer last nite in Anchorage Alaska for a free tibet awareness concert. She is so beautiful with a lilting acapella, I was touched by her whispering positive statements between songs.. Tibets oppression can certainly use some international attention.

[genesis204]

have no idea what its about but great tune!

[asilcotza]

have you already seen this unbelievable tibetan guitar player?

his name is tsering purtag, and i guess he's from switzerland. check out his live performance, keyword: purtag. he simply blew me away!

free tibet

[huanianyi]

free kurdstan

[ChinaKillsNuns]

asilcotza

"i guess he's from switzerland"

You have been saying this for many months. You should have found out where tsering is from a long time ago. But you are a clumsy chinese communist party spammer, just like the CLUMSY chinese communist party, which TORTURES and KILLS Tibetans for actions that are legal in the West !!!!

The communist party LOOTS and does FORCED sterilisations without anaesthetic and late abortions on women who have done nothing !!!!!

If you think I am wrong reply to me

[cpvu1991]

this is very sad.

[morrink]

But I can´t understand why she is singing in chinese!? Should a palestinian sing in hebrew?

stupid.

[Sojetunion]

She's singing in Tibetan with Chinese transliteration so Chinese speakers can follow along.

[rr33463]

also...if it were in chinese, its because of the chinese govt...not them...but its tibetan, because i cant understand it. tibetans are very opressed by the chinese govt.

[LeHuyAnh]

It's not that simplistic. China's expansion into Tibet and it's incorporation into this greater Chinese identity is from many centuries of feudal conquest...and has nothing to do with modern state-taking (like Israel/Palestine).

[kedol23]

she is singing in a different tibetan dialect. the chinese subtitle below is just similar sounding..

[BhomoMila]

When her first album was out...we were all invited to an opening night in Kham, Tibet where they introduced her as a native of Juva. Maybe the organizers were wrong?

[Bailianjiao]

You are wonderful people, I love your style

[barfsnard]

Who is the artist of this song?

What's it called?

[barfsnard]

Who is the artist of this song, and what is the title?

Free Tibet, for it is awesome!

[barfsnard]

Also, what is the instrument with the string played in the video?

[mabindaby555]

the instrument is an erhu

[jim1985]

This song is sung in Mandarin, not Tibetan. Probably made for a chinese market, not the Tibetans themselves.

[donnysiew]

ps don't mix politics with culture n religion,keep singing

[ChinaKillsNuns]

donnysiew

Are you unaware of the Cultural Genocide being carried out in Tibet by the chinese communist party? Please watch

The Destruction of Serthar Buddhist Institute in Tibet

and learn that the chinese communist partys Cultural Revolution NEVER stopped in Tibet. It is still going!!!

Do you know that the real Panchen Lama Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, recognised by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the 11th Panchen Lama has been MISSING since 1995 ???

The Cultural Genocide in Tibet includes religion.

[AOMM]

Whats the tittle of this song? Where could I find the lyrics of it written in english letters?

[jinshui56]

See you in Shangri-La.

The lyrics? I don't know.

[globalconsult]

Boycott the Beijing Olympics! The World will not tolerate the Genocide of the Tibetan People! Long Live the Free Republic of Tibet!

[breizhernamer]

PREACH IT! bro!

[koolaboy]

free Tibet. very immature statement khmerdog

[leepmx]

weird for me -they dance like eastern european ppl-jajaj maybe they are romanians or ukranians in their hearts...:)-

[koolaboy]

I think this is chinese not Tibetan. Why else would there be Chinese lyrics? With the blue following it.

[pwnednooblar]

The spoken language is distinctly *not* Chinese sounding - it's Tibetan. True though, the subtitles are in Chinese, which is probably now the primary language in Tibet since communist China took over and controls everything including education and media.

[amdan7]

@pwnednooblar No, they're actually singing in Chinese Mandarin! With a distinct Tibetan accent, that's true. But this is Chinese, not Tibetan. Weird!!

[gawogawa]

They are singing in Tibetan (one of the Khampa dialects). The Chinese characters are a transliteration of the Tibetan lyrics.

[liming2000]

Ever heard of Karaoke?

[ahonsyao]

@koolaboy this is most definitely not chinese. its tibetan.

[RenaissanceCapital]

I don't care about the politics, but everything about her and her music is really, truly, beautiful. In America you see woman who are beautiful by outside appearance;but, rarely find anyone with the inner, outer and spiritual beauty of her. Also, I must say FREE TIBET. I hope someday the world will team up against China.

[breizhernamer]

This has a strong affect on me!i hope that Tibet will keep their traditions!

[BhomoMila]

Unity, understanding, and respect for each other's differences is the only way Tibetans in Tibet and in exile can really outrun the force of the PRC. Bhoe Gyalo!!!

[BhomoMila]

If you do not understand the dialect, ask someone who does before proclaiming idiotic comments like this in here. This just seems like you lack in real Tibetan culture in and out of Tibet. I don't blame you though, it's the effect of living in exile. We haven't been really introduced to many varieties of cultures that existed in old Tibet and still does today.

[BhomoMila]

And like all things even human...even music evolve. Maybe this type of new techno base music in the back, or the colorful clothing which could be a bit of a contribution from Modern Chinese influence...you shouldn't shun every music that comes out from Tibet. The Tibetans in Tibet probably won't think the music that we say are "pure" Tibetan isn't all that pure. They will see the influence of India, Nepal and America. What is your defense to that?

[BhomoMila]

toctc....I can understand what you're trying to say about the strong chinese influence in music that comes from Tibet but this is an actual phayul song. It's different dialect therefore you probably do not understand. This is somewhat close to Bashe (a dance form) from Ba Kham. This girl is from a place called Juva in Kham. The birth place of Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche. They just speak different dialects, please be a lil open minded while you comment. Jeesuuu!

[119967chado]

correction . she is from gyalrong bordering Kham and Amdo (Aba) and not juba which is southern Kham. Many singers come from this area as well as from Dege.

[khamtruk]

Who gave you the idea that this singer is from Gyalrong bordering Kham and Amdo? She is from Gyalthang and is particularly from Kham bordering Kongra and Gyupa okay.

[LAMINGUNSE]

do not deny every thing related with chinese, it is easy for you if you do not live inside of Tibet,but for us it is part of our life, something we are not able to get rid of it.if talk about language itself, what is different between English and Chinese for a Tibetan, both are foreign languages.

[toctc]

The Chinese have turned the Tibetan culture into an attraction and the Tibetan people into show dogs on leashes.

If you listen to the lyrics of this song, sounds like Tibetan language spoken like Mandarin Chinese. Shame!!

[LAMINGUNSE]

that is a typical Tibetan song include lyric and music itself, there are nothing wrong to use Chinese subtitle to convenient other Tibetan who do not know Amdo dialect,it can only help more people know This song.

[infiniti01]

It makes me sick how so many of the major countries will not stand up for Tibet. It is a shame the major powers of the world seem to only care about money, power, and pride; thus, not caring about a country unless they also contribute the same mentality. China should especially be ashamed about this. The Tibetan people never did anything to deserve what China has done to Tibet and yet China will not apologize or acknowlege their actions. This shows what China values most.

[LAMINGUNSE]

thank for you to do many things for gaining more freedom for Tibetan, as you said it is for tibetan who live inside. since actually it won't affect your real life.

 we are also preserving our culture, may be not intentionally, since it just our way of life.

do not get mad, since you are easy to go extreme, i hope you take it just as a family talk. tuck!!

[LAMINGUNSE]

as a Tibetan, i thank all of you who working on Tibet in to a better place, no matter what approach you take! peace！

[krtslamr]

Tibetan/Chinese/Disco-Polo hybrid aerobics class in the mountains.LOL

[Ryz05]

fun song

[seethrooh]

chinese singing tibetan music. a shame. they just don t have the same energyI agree jimsim3-china you do not have to steal from tibet

[tibetforever]

for tibetan musicians you should check out that tibetan guy playing a hendrix song sitting at namtso lake/tibet. just look for hendrix tibet.

[ikhamo]

happy song

[37140]

Bravo cette vidéo est superbe et montre un grand espoir et une joie de vivre malgrè tout ce qui les entourent

[jimsim3]

China you have lost your soul You are loosing your international face. The concept of any society is one based on fair play,and you are only cheating yourselves of a future. Please leave Tibet and show the world that you can be great! and that you can act in the the interest of humanity. This could be your GIFT to the World for Beijing Olympics 2008 Would,nt this be a first for Mankind.

[Chenrezig1]

Great combo with Yangchen and the male singer..

Thanks for sharing;-)))

[zhaowang]

Super j'ai déjà vu ce VCD à Lhassa l'année dernière ! C'était vraiment à la mode !

[zintenzin]

The singer is Yangchen Lhamo. If I'm not mistaken, this is from 2 or 3 years ago.

[George84Oliviere]

A cool mix between modern pop and tibetan folkmusic.

Really good
