about
The song “TSAMPA” is included in 黎智坚措SCARK!D (formerly known as Uncle Buddhist) 2018 album “City Tibetan”, which is the world's first and only Tibetan rap album. This album is named on the back of the rapper’s life experience as a true “City Tibetan”, as he was born in a pasture area but at a young age relocated to the city where he received education and has been living since then. The entire album is written in Tibetan language, embedding impressively rich cultural, ethnic and religious elements. In these amazing and unique songs, we can hear him rap about his life and pay tribute to the land that raised him. Work on the album “City Tibetan” started in 2014; finally, it was gratefully released in 2018 after all these years’ hard work. The album is for sale now.
Tsampa is a nutritional and organic traditional Tibetan food. This video shows the celebrations of Tsampa Festival, in which people send best wishes to each other by a “tsampa war party”. This festival is a true heritage that has been maintained for more than a thousand years.
