  • Description

    Time of the Skeleton Lords is the fourth album from the monks of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery and follows their 2008 release on 30 IPS Dawn Till Dusk which was lauded by the Rough Guide to World Music as “Exhilarating multi-layered rhythmic recitation of chants: a shimmering monument of polyphonic sonority.� The new album was recorded on location in Bylakuppe, southern India, and, according to Tibetan Buddhist traditions, follows the journey of the consciousness through the Bardo - an intermediate period between death and rebirth, during which the effects of causality and karma accumulated in previous lives influence the direction of the future recarnations. The Tashi Lhunpo Monks return to Europe during Summer/Autumn 2010 with appearances including a residency at the Edinburgh Fringe festival during August 2010 and a concert at The Royal Opera House, London on 5th September as part of the Deloitte IGNITE Festival.
