Exiled Tibetans living in Mcleodganj have been known for their political protests against the Chinese rule of their homeland.

Three brothers have now taken their protests to the recording studio.

Tenzing Jamyang, Jigme and Ingsel have been born and brought up in Mcleodganj. But now they hope to make big after the release of their first international album Exile brothers.

Music runs into their blood and they get all the support from their mother, who owns a small restaurant on the bustling hilltop.

Talent was never been a problem for them and what they needed was will power and they got hooked to their first love Tibetan and guitar after that.

“Music is all feeling you know. If you can’t feel it, you can’t get it you know. Together we all brothers came during vacations and we decided to give a show to our family and friends,” says Tenzin.

Family backing

Mother Meena Thentok does the rest. She is the producer and financer of the project.

And she feels that her sons would one day make voices of the unheard Tibetans reach every nook and corner of the world.

“I am their biggest fan, the biggest supporter. When they were small they used to come and play music during vacations. I thought they could do something in the field of music,” says Meena.

The young singers are writing and singing about the sufferings of Tibetan people who are in exile for last five decades and still uncertain about their future.

They live in good houses and avail all the facilities but they say that soul is still caged, till their country is not free.
