Coming Home

This second album from Tibet's most extraordinary voice, produced by Hector Zazou, frames Yungchen Lhamo's stunning songs of freedom and beauty out of sorrow with delicately ambient instrumentation, a departure from her earlier a cappella recordings. Yungchen Lhamo fled Tibet - on foot across the Himalayas with her child in her arms - to freedom in the Dalai Lama's exile community in Dharamsala, India. Today, based in New York City, she continues to sing on behalf of the Tibetan cause with the express blessing of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Real Word. 2009.
