OUT OF TIBET
Podcast Description
Can you name a Tibetan – besides the Dalai Lama? I guess not (or you're probably Tibetan). Let's change that by representing voices of Tibetans and our friends. Sharing stories of hope, struggle, culture, and belonging — creating a space for Tibetans and for everyone who cares about Tibet.
Since 1950, Tibet has been under Chinese occupation. Today, Tibetans live scattered across the globe in exile. Many of us have never seen our homeland. My name is DAGYAB Namri Songtsen Lhundup, born and raised in Germany by Tibetan parents. Living in Berlin.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of OUT OF TIBET, Tibetan-Australian musician Tenzin Choegyal shares his story — from growing up in a Tibetan refugee school in India to performing for thousands of people and being nominated for a Grammy.
We talk about how music became his path to freedom, healing, and storytelling — blending ancient nomadic songs with new sounds he calls “tsampa fusion.” Tenzin opens up about the spiritual connection behind Tibetan instruments like the dranyen, why music (like water) should never be boxed in, and how his songs carry the stories of a people in exile.
He speaks about working odd jobs in Australia, navigating the music industry, and what it truly means to represent a culture that’s often misrepresented — or erased. Plus: what it was like acting for the first time, and how he finds home in sound, not geography.
Whether you’re into world music, curious about Tibetan culture, or seeking inspiration on how to turn personal history into art — this one’s for you.
