Dachung (Dawa Chung)
Sunday, March 20th, 2005Dachung is an vibrant and energetic woman from Lhasa. “…as a child I loved singing and dancing. I’m not good for studies, but if I hear a song just once, I remember the melody and the words. I didn’t really get proper training in Tibet for Lhamo (opera). But when I arrived here in India, I got good training…Actually, in Tibet ladies were not supposed to sing. Lhamo opera was only done by the men. All the women’s roles were done by the men…
