Diqing Mountain Song
Folk music ethnic group: Tibetan region: Diqing, Yunnan
Bamboo Flute: Zhao Xiong
The Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the capital of Shangri La, means "good luck" in Tibetan. It is located in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains, with high mountains and deep valleys. The Jinsha River, Lancang River, and Nu River flow together, and there are various types of folk songs and dances that have lasted for generations. During labor, festivals, love, worshipping gods and praying for blessings, weddings and funerals, and welcoming guests, there is always a company of songs and dances.
This Diqing mountain song, played by the bamboo flute, carries the unique high pitched and melodious tone of Tibetan mountain songs, as well as the bright and light vibrato. It is like an eagle hovering on a snowy mountain, with its wings reflecting the light that penetrates the thin air, and reflecting the vast grasslands and flowers under the blue sky.
