about

This started life as a lament called 'Chushi Gangdruk' - Tibetan for 'Four Rivers, Six Ranges', the name traditionally given to the eastern Tibetan region of Kham. Chushi Gangdruk was an organisation of Tibetan resistance fighters, supported by the USA, who opposed the occupation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China, between 1958 and 1974. Now I'm not so sure; constant lamentation does get terribly exhausting. There are some beautiful harmonics at the end, which I borrowed quite shamelessly from 'Clarsach', a lovely piece on John Renbourn's 'Nine Maidens' album. DGDGBbE.
