The song or more like "dho" style folk music is sung differently but the melody sounds a bit familiar. They've definitely tried but of course that's not how we get down in Sok Zong. All in all, a good attempt in showcasing the many diverse cultures of Tibet. Thanks!

@doicelhemo, I think the title says Sok Zong....it's in the Northeastern part of Tibet in Kham. To be honest, it's a great effort made by the TIPA team but a few mistakes to note. The costume: The head costume is similar to that region but we wear "dhing lhaen" way different than that. The dress (chupa) isn't worn in that color or design.

[wisdomlhamo]
