This album commemorates the 80th birthday of the 14th Dalai Lama in July 2015. The first institution he created in 1959 while establishing his Tibetan government in exile in India was the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA). The Men of Dharamsala recorded this album to support TIPA and their valiant musicians who struggle to keep Tibetan performing arts alive. The repertoire includes Tibetan opera, dance and folk tunes, nomad songs from the Tibetan plateau sung in Amdo and special stage purification dances. Joining the TIPA musicians are monks of Nechung Monastery, singing special pujas (prayers) unique to this monastery. Tibetan wind instruments, human skull rattles and Tibetan long horns accompany them with vigour.
