"It was an honor to have the opportunity to select and compile these diverse songs offered to the Tibet Fund by various Contemporary Tibetan musicians sharing their tradition and spirit with the western world for this noble cause," says Joshua Jacobs.
The second digital collection "Dhodma" (which means 'Origin' in Tibetan") is a compilation of 14 traditional songs from various areas of Tibet, also performed by artists from the renowned Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts.
Formed in 1959 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama after the Chinese occupation of Tibet forced some 80,000 Tibetans to flee to India and systematically violated every aspect of Tibetan culture and civilization -- The Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA) is the premiere exile Institute entrusted with the responsibility of preserving and promoting Tibet's unique traditions of performing arts.
Based in Dharamasala, India, TIPA is a vibrant and creative institute consisting of 150 members including artists, instructors, trainees, administrative staff and craftsmen, all of whom live on the Institute's premises and are fully dedicated to preserving Tibetan traditional performing arts.
