Customer Rating: 
Summary: Unique blend of authentic sounds
Comment: Healing music performed with a voice so authentic, it touches the essence of us as human beings.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ama by Yungchen Lhamo
Comment: This is very inspiring sacred music. Yungchen has a gift of opening our hearts. The modern electric backing is sensitive, and enhances rather than intrudes. Beautiful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: THE MOST SPIRITUAL SINGER IN THE WORLD RETURNS
Comment: This is a masterpiece from the Tibetan singer, whose voice carries more pure unaffected spirituality and soul than any other singer in any other discipline in the world. For my meager punts, this is likely the best CD I'll hear this year, even if Huong Thanh releases a new CD.
For those weaned on American radio, this is the voice that comes from that place primordial in your deepest heart of hearts. I can not imagine that anyone who listens to Lhamo will not come face to face with what moves them most profoundly.
As to this specific release, the aesthetics espoused by Real World are all in place. Real World, like ECM or ACT, is known for its sound, regardless of the culture. Here you'll find a certain acoustic quality that generates a reverb and a space for the lower register of instruments and the rhytmic texture to flow, without flooding the voice, and it is the voice thattranscends the mix. Overall, the CD is dedicated to her mother, who sacrificed enormously to get Lhamo and her family out of Tibet and away from the Chinese oppression. The CD also expresses grief at the tragedy of 9/11, not just for those who lost loved ones, but for the state of the human soul that so much suffering was flash lit by those planes, that so much deception and lies and avarice have had free reign in the aftermath of the collapse. Joy Askew and Annie Lennox join in at different points to underscore the Tibetan plea for peace and forgiveness. Compassion requires both parties to bring an open heart to the crises.
You are not likely to find a more compelling album in the racks and bins by anyone this year. If you care about the quality of the human heart, this is a CD for the ages.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Among the world's great singers, a rare few become the voice of their nation. After years of international touring with the blessing of the Dalai Lama, Yungchen Lhamo has truly become the voice of Tibet. This third album for Real World (the first in 8 years) is infused with the quiet spiritual power of Tibetan Buddhism but now features Yungchen's own original songs with the striking production of Jamshied Sharifi and pan-global instrumentation to make a much more modern and indeed much more personal record than before. Ama means "mother" and Yungchen dedicates this album to her own mother who suffered greatly and raised her daughter amidst the violence and persecution of the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Themes of struggle, loss, peace and forgiveness run through this magical recording. The icing on the cake are the guest appearances from two incredible, incomparable singers Joy Askew and Annie Lennox.
