Gyuto Monks of Tibet
This is the third track from the CD "Pure Sounds: Gyuto Monks of Tibet" on New Earth Records. Performers are Gelek Gonpo (Chant Master), Sonam Dorjee, Passang Gyamtso & Tenzin Jigme.
The Gyuto Monks came to the attention of the western world thanks to the efforts of Huston Smith and Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead drummer). They first toured the US in 1988 under the sponsorship of Mickey Hart, touring 22 cities and sold out every venue. They have returned for subsequent tours. Huston Smith produced the first recorded cassette of the Monks in 1965.
