Description
The new Musical Explorers series from ARC Music makes available, often for the first time, a valuable range of historical films and audio recordings gathered from all over the world.
Deben Bhattacharya's film, Echoes from Tibet, was shot in 1979 in Ladakh, (often called 'Little Tibet'), Darjeeling and Dharamsala. Here many Tibetan exiles and the Dalai Lama (who appears in the film) are based. The music on the accompanying CD (curated by Simon Broughton) was recorded in 1975 and 1979 in the refugee communities of Ladakh, Himalchal Pradesh, Sikkim and Darjeeling, and also in Sarnath, close to Varanasi where the Buddha gave his first sermon. Total playing time: 64:06 min., DVD: 27 min.
