Tibetan Singer Ani Choying: "The Buddhist Rockstar Nun"

In a very special concert to benefit Nepalese earthquake victims, Ani Choying Drolma, who's been dubbed "the Buddhist rockstar nun" for her beautiful, bestselling take on traditional Tibetan chants and songs, delivers her musical message of peace to the gathered at DC's Lisner Auditorium. Hailing from the Nagi Gompa nunnery in the Himalayas, where she's lived and trained since the age of 13, the English-speaking Drolma was "discovered" in 1994 by American experimental jazz-rock guitarist Steve Tibbetts, with whom she's recorded a pair of widely acclaimed albums. Drolma's also released more than a dozen discs of her own, filled with her heartfelt, mesmerizing songs. Don't miss the rare chance to see this international artist perform live.
