Lopa Kothari - Tashi Lhunpo Monks in Session

Lopa Kothari presents new music from around the world and a live session from the Tashi Lhunpo monks. They perform music from their new album, 17 Golden Greats.

Lopa Kothari presents music from around the globe and a live session by the Tashi Lhunpo Monks.

Following the occupation of Tibet in 1959 twenty elderly Buddhist monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery fled into exile by trekking across the Himalayas to India. Custodians of religious traditions dating back over 500 years, the Monks subsequently rebuilt their Monastery in the Tibetan settlement of Bylakuppe in southern India. There are now over 300 monks living at the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery which is now an important centre for learning and for the preservation of the culture and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Seven of these Monks take time out from their three-month concert tour of the UK to join us for an exclusive live session.

Playing music from their new album '17 Golden Greats' (a greatest hits collection compiled from the five albums the Monks have made over the last decade), they will be performing Tibetan chants and mantras, and showing us some of their Tantric Orchestra instruments.
