Blessed with one of the most clear, exquisite voices to be found anywhere in the world, Yungchen Lhamo is a refugee from Tibet, who escaped across the Himalayas to India, where she first started singing, and who now lives in New York. Inevitably, her delicate songs reflect her experiences. There are cool, drifting atmospheric passages that would work well as a film soundtrack, matched against gently sturdy dance songs that reflect Tibetan folk styles. The songs range from a tribute to her home city Lhasa to Fade Away, in which she's joined by Annie Lennox, and a Buddhist prayer for those who died on 9/11. Like many of the best songs it starts with the "voice of Tibet" singing solo, sounding even more powerful and distinctive without the global backing effects.
