Techung is an artistic name of the Tibetan exile singer Tashi Dhondup Sharzur. He studied traditional Tibetan music and dance in Dharamsala on the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts ( TIPA). After he moved to the USA he founded his own band and composes his own songs, which he sings in native Tibetan language. His charismatic voice has almost magic influence on the audience and according to New Sunday Times ” ….. his soaring vocals are like waves lapping against the seashore, gently beckoning the listener to get lost in the music.”
Techung and his band are coming to Prague for the second time and will introduce their new album Tashi Sho. It is their fourth joint album and for the first time, each band member has contributed to this collaborative effort to create music that fuses Tibetan folk with jazz, blues, rock, reggae, Latin, Indian and African influences.
