Tibetan music is a rich and diverse tradition that reflects the culture and spirituality of the Tibetan people. It often features traditional instruments such as the dranyen (a type of lute), dungchen (long trumpet), and various percussion instruments. The music is typically characterized by its use of throat singing, known as overtone singing, which creates a unique harmonic sound. The themes of Tibetan music often revolve around nature, spirituality, and the teachings of Buddhism. Songs may be performed during religious ceremonies, festivals, or as part of daily life. This music serves not only as entertainment but also as a means of preserving cultural identity and promoting spiritual practices.
