This VCD is published by Xihai Ethnicities Audeo-video Publishing House. Rgan gya'i skar ma and Sman tshong tshe skyid were two lovers. Rgan gya'i skar ma was a man from Rgan gya Village, Labrang County, and Sman tshong tshe skyid was a woman from Sman tshong Village in Rebgong. Although they were lovers, their two villages fought over grazing rights and Rgan gya'i skar ma, who was considered a hero in his village, was killed by the men of Sman sthong Village in order to crush the Rgan gya villagers' hopes.
This tragic story is known by many Tibetans. Traditionally, it was sung unaccompanied, but here it has been adapted for mandolin.
