We met this Tibetan kid at the high school gig we played in Xi'ning. He wandered in with a mandolin, speaking only Tibetan and sang us a couple of beautiful folk songs, including this one here. Xi'ning is in Qinghai province, on the Tibetan plateau adjacent to Tibet and has many Tibetans, who are also dispersed throughout Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces throughout the foothills of the Tibetan plateau.
