about

"intensely hypnotic and enchanting... a combination of Africa, India and Tibet, that... has resulted in a musical masterpiece... relaxed, yet energising; ambient yet vigorous... something of interest in every bar, and even after having played it many times, I keep finding something new to listen to."
-Mike Raine, Indie-CDs Review

Rollicking Tibetan folk, afro-reggae guitar grooves and intricate Indian tabla sound as if they were made for each other! Together, Tenzin Choegyal, Marcello Milani and Shen Flindell create a new joyful sound that transcends cultural boundaries.
Tibet2Timbuk2 has an eclectic repertoire resulting in an overall sound which is full and organic. All three musicians share melody, harmony, bass and percussion roles to create a solid yet easy groove.

Their debut CD Music is Life includes 2008 QSong BEMAC World Music Award winning piece, Crane Song, featuring internationally renowned bansuri player Taro Terahara.

Jazz trumpeter Peter Hunt contributes to several tracks and the CD finale Music Is Life/Menfanh features the West African singing and kora of special guest Lansana Camara from Guinea.

From the joyous to the meditative, come on a journey from Tibet to Timbuktu.

A portion of proceeds goes to support Tibetan Children's Village in Dharamsala, India. Thanks for your support.
