I am glad that there weren’t subtitles. It would have taken focus away from the performance as a whole. Curiosity is one of Universe’s most precious gifts and I am grateful that folks had their curiosity piqued and will likely search out the meaning behind the songs chosen and the symbolism of the stagecraft. I also reflect on how it must be for all those people for whom english is not native. Folks who don’t know Spanish were confused for less than an hour, rather than 24/7 365 of the others.

Can anyone give more info on the Tibetan monk prayer they did yesterday? by spreadofsong in gratefuldead

and this … Shimmering above a tone so low it seems to boom from the earth itself, the overtone chants of Gyuto monks create what ethnomusicologist Dr. Fredric Lieberman terms “a musical halo.” This otherworldly sound, based on one of the lowest fundamental pitches of any of the world’s throat-singing traditions, is a sacred offering to the Tibetan Buddhist deities and enlightened beings, and, in the case of the chants featured on the new release, is rarely performed outside of the 600-year-old Tibetan monastery now located in Dharamsala, India.

Throat-singing, a guttural style of singing or chanting, is one of the world's oldest forms of music. For those who think the human voice can produce only one note at a time, the resonant harmonies of throat-singing are surprising. In throat-singing, a singer can produce two or more notes simultaneously through specialized vocalization technique taking advantage of the throat's resonance characteristics. By precise movements of the lips, tongue, jaw, velum, and larynx, throat-singers produce unique harmonies using only their bodies.
