Lama Tashi – the golden voiced monk

Guwahati, Feb. 2: His unique voice has baffled scientists and earned him a nomination for the 48th Grammy Awards in the Best Traditional World Music Album category: he is Geshe Ngawang Tashi, popularly known as Tashi Lama. Medical experts in US and Canada had conducted tests on his vocal chords by inserting a miniature camera through his nose; it was carried out to find how he could produce multi-phonic sounds which create an impression of several singers singing together.

His music album Tibetan Master Chants was nominated for the Best Traditional World Music Album category because of its uniqueness and mystery. The 48th Annual Grammy Awards will be held in New York, USA, on February 8.

Besides being a phenomenal singer, Tashi is also the principal of the Central Institute of Himalayan Culture Studies located at Dahung, in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India.
