Each month New Earth Records presents an artist biography for one of their artists. This month it is the very talented Dechen Shak-Dagsay. Her music has a strong healing element – which can be heard and felt in her most successful album to date; the 72 minute long Dewa Che, Universal Healing Power of Tibetan Mantras.

The biography starts with these words:

Dechen Shak-Dagsay was born the same year her parents fled to India due to the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959. She is the eldest daughter of the late Yishi Tsedön Zatul and Dagsay Tulku Rinpoche. Together with her family Dechen grew up as one of the nearly 2,500 Tibetans residing in Switzerland. Her family played an important role in founding the Tibetan Institute of Performing Art for Switzerland and Dechen was the youngest member of the group.

Read it here. She is a truly fascinating artist – and very talented! I think there are too few Asian new age music artists.
