Yungchen Lhamo

Yungchen Lhamo

Yungchen Lhamo has been played on NTS shows including Ganga Blues w/ Symrin, with Ngak Pai Metog first played on 13 June 2018.

དབྱངས་ཅན་ལྷ་མོ (Romanized: Yungchen Lhamo) is a Tibetan singer. Her name means "Goddess of Song", a name given her by a holy man soon after she was born near Lhasa. She left Tibet in 1989 at age 23. She moved to Australia in 1993, then to New York City in 2000.

Lhamo's Australian debut album Tibetan Prayer won the ARIA Australian Record Industry Award for best Folk/World/Traditional Music release in 1995. The success of that record led to her signing with Peter Gabriel's Real World label. Her first record for the label, Tibet, Tibet, mainly features powerful acapella renditions of original compositions -- authentic Tibetan Buddhist prayers and songs. Her next recording, Coming Home was a collaboration with producer Hector Zazou, showcasing her beautiful voice, and also featuring chanting by Tibetan monks, a wide range of mostly modern Western instruments, and the benefits of multi-track recording, enabling Lhamo's voice to be layered repeatedly.

Yungchen Lhamo's much-awaited album Ama (which means Mother in the Tibetan language) was released in April 2006. Featured artists include Annie Lennox and Joy Askew.
