Alan Dawa Dolma

Last updated

One distinctive style that Alan uses is the "Tibetan wail", a soaring sound at very high pitches. [1] She acquired it instinctively while growing up in Sichuan Bijindani, where singing and dancing are daily activities, and compared it to Okinawan and Mongolian folk music. [3] As a Tibetan Buddhist, she aims to sing about "love and peace". [17] [18]
