Trinkhor

Trinkhor is not a single artist but rather a series of music albums that have been influential in the Tibetan music scene. The Trinkhor albums, which span from 1985 to 2014, feature a variety of artists, including Nelung Tsering Topden and his son Yeshe, as well as other notable Tibetan musicians like Dawa Lhamo and Tenzin Wangmo. These albums were part of an effort to create a Tibetan pop music scene, allowing young Tibetans to express themselves in their native language through contemporary music styles.

The founder of Trinkhor, Dr. Lobsang Palden Tawo, played a crucial role in blending traditional Tibetan music with Western pop. His work has been significant in fostering a Tibetan pop culture, especially among the Tibetan diaspora in places like India and Nepal. The Trinkhor albums have featured a diverse range of artists, contributing to their popularity and influence in the region.
