H. the Dalai Lama. She went on to become the star performer of the TIPA. Through this passage she stepped into the tradition of the various kinds of classical and folk music of her country. Her interpretations of the Nangma and the Toeshe, Tibetan classical songs from the 17th century, have been universally acclaimed and she has been christened The Nightingale of Tibet.

She also owns the eclectic vegetarian restaurant “De Werfkring” in Utrecht. Besides her singing, she has developed a unique style of songwriting that is deeply rooted in her Tibetan tradition, free of political discourse but astoundingly powerful in communicating Tibet’s culture in a modern environment. Her latest albums "Pure" - classical-based Tibetan songs - and "The Enchanted Land" - a collaboration with electronic lounge musician Arnav Srivastava - have been released worldwide in August 2007. 2009 will see the release of 'Highland Supernova'-An album set to explore realms of progressive rock from within the confines of traditional Tibetan singing where Lhamo will be seen collaborating with various international musicians.
