 Yungchen Lhamo has quietly established herself as one of the worlds most exquisite voices, the purity and scale of her singing conjuring up the vastness of her Himalayan homeland. The Sunday Observer, UK
Over the past decade, Tibetan singer Yungchen Lhamo has been heard worldwide, playing to audiences of tens of thousands, often entirely a cappella. Such is the power of her voice, alone it is captivating. When blended into Jamshied Sharifis soundscape, the effects are magnified. PopMatters.com.
Yungchen Lhamo
As anyone who has heard her sing can attest, international singing star Yungchen Lhamos voice is an exquisite instrument. Free-flowing and enchanting, it can glide from a mesmerising chant to a booming mountain call in the space of a breath. The pure sound of it can deliver its own message one that goes beyond words.
A devout Buddhist, Yungchen is adamant about making her music for the benefit of all. All religions, she says, share the concept of sanctuary or refuge found in meditation, in prayer or song and that is the goal she keeps in mind for her music.
