Selwa

Over the past few years, the music of Tibetan monks has gained a massive audience, with Western listeners finding refuge from the rat race in the songs and chants of the East. Those same medicinal qualities are at the core of this breathtaking collaboration between veteran guitar wizard and ECM recording artist Steve Tibbetts and Choying Drolma, a Buddhist nun whom Tibbetts met and recorded at a monastery in Nepal. 

The highly anticipated follow-up to their acclaimed first release, 1997’s Cho, Selwa is a beautiful sound tapestry of haunting songs that evoke a sense of peace that cuts through any language barrier. Tibbetts has one of the most recognizable guitar styles in the world and his subtle arrangements mixed with percussion from his long time collaborator Marc Anderson perfectly frame Drolma’s unforgettable voice.

唱经是一种特殊的功法，并不是唱着玩的普通音乐，舌是心根，通过发出咒文也就是心的秘密之义，产生的特殊震动与周遭乃至宇宙之内产生共振，是转换身心的一种方式

琼英·卓玛的声音殊妙，演唱韵律带有一丝浓浓的印巴风味，和我们听到的藏歌有着巨大的差别，比如李娜和才旦卓玛的歌曲都十分高亢，而阿·琼英·卓玛的歌曲，几乎没有一点高音。她所有的吟唱都是和佛教有关，曲调是那么纯净、动听，不带一丝尘世间的浮躁和喧闹，实在是陶冶性灵，安宁身心的妙音。。🚩🚩🚩
