As far as I can tell, singers from the Tibet Autonomous Region actually make up a significant part of the Chinese popular music scene. I wasn’t able to find out much about the performer, San Muke, other than that the album where this song comes from, The Scent of Tibet, was released by China Record Corporation in 2006, a government-owned record company.

I primarily chose this song for its peppy tone and jazzy/bluesy piano accompaniment, which seemed like a significant departure from the previous songs I have submitted. I was really looking for something uplifting. This song represents a continuation of my efforts to find popular music from minority language groups in each region that we study. For my purposes, I have chosen to recognize Tibetan as a minority language of China, especially seeing as this song was released by a Chinese record company, primarily to the Chinese consumer market.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find this song on YouTube, so hopefully you are able to enjoy it via this Spotify link:
