Tibetan singer Yungchen Lhamo, who lives "in exile" in New York, has worked in the past on collaborative projects with musicians such as Annie Lennox, Peter Gabriel and Sheryl Crow. This disc pairs her with Russian pianist and post-minimalist composer Anton Batagov. I love the texture of Lhamo's voice, and Batagov's piano contributes its own interesting character, providing more than just background for Tibetan songs and chants. It may be difficult to categorize, but it's well worth a listen. Highly recommended.
