Description:Tshering Sgrolma sings an Ayi Momo song 1.
"This lady is famous in the area for her great voice and her amazing memory. It is said that when she was little she could just hear people sing a song once and remember it completely. She can still sing songs that the older people nowadays do not remember any more. Some time ago she was filmed by a Chinese film crew for a documentary on her village (Jiaba), and she was the only one that could sing a certain famous song completely. She also told us the Gesar story, but unlike other Prinmi insisted on calling him Ling Gesar instead of Phrom Gesar. This lady is famous in the area for her great voice and her amazing memory.
