Festival and concerts

 

December 2010

 

Thank you for visiting my website.

 

My name is Techung and I am a Tibetan folk and freedom singer.

​

Last month, I was part of the 11th annual San Francisco World Music Festival. My daughter Yangchen Lhamo, 18, performed a classical Tibetan song "Jhola Tashi" as part of the Youth Orchestral Program. Here are couple of photos of Yangchen. Learn more about the festival at DoorDog.org.

​

This month, I will be heading to India and Nepal to promote Semshae - Heart Songs— a Tibetan children's music album. I will be organizing and participating in Free Tashi Dhondup and Dhondup Wangchen concerts in India and then later in other cities.

Tashi Dhondup is a popular singer from the eastern Tibetan region of Amdo. He was arrested following the 2009 release of a CD containing songs which included lyrics calling for the Dalai Lama's return to Tibet and lamenting that "There is no freedom in Tibet."

​

Tashi Dhondup is currently serving a two-year term in a forced labor camp for his pro-Tibetan music.

Dhondup Wangchen is a Tibetan film maker currently in prison by the Chinese government. According to sources in Tibet, Chinese authorities sentenced Dhondup Wangchen to a six-year prison sentence on December 28th, 2009. His trial was held in secret and he was denied access to a lawyer of his choosing.
