The text and more than a hundred full-page color plates document
Tibetan folk music (particularly work songs), and local life in Sman
shod Valley, Sde dge County, Dkar mdzes Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,
Sichuan Province, China. Bo nyed, a local elder, describes the
situation that motivated this timely documentation, "In the past we
sang constantly, but now people don't sing no matter where they are or
what they are doing. Now everyone is silent." The text includes richly
contextualized and annotated transcriptions of the songs' Tibetan
lyrics with English translations.
