Kyab Yul-Sa - Resonance d'exil (s) / Exile Vibration (2017)

Kyab Yul-Sa's independent debut production is the work of a talented trio - Tibetan exile Lobsang Chonzor (vocals, dranyen lute, gyumang dulcimer) and Europeans Margeaux Liénard (violin and buzouki) and Julien Lahaye (percussion) - who work the Tibetan sounds into a stirring melange. Chonzor's powerful and evocative voice joined by the diverse experience of two very skilled musicians makes the recipe for a gentle, but not anodyne, recording bringing together traditions and sounds from across Europe and Asia.

While at times the music is distinctly Asian, at other times it evokes Scandinavia, the British Isles, or Poland. The lutes, dulcimers, violins and lovely percussion make this a very listenable recording with some extended, meditative tracks.
