Chukie spent about 11 years at TIPA, developing her interest and talent. In her last few years at TIPA she became one of the few acclaimed solo singers. In the mid-70s she left TIPA and was engaged in running a restaurant in Nepal for about 6 years and then a restaurant in Holland for about 3 years.However, her continuing interest in Tibetan music led her to renew and restudy it in the early 90s. Her first live concert, after leaving TIPA, was performed in Holland in 1996.
ChukieÌs main interest is in the pure, classical songs of Western and Central Tibet known as "nangma toeshey" and the nomadic songs of Eastern and North Eastern Tibet known as "Lu". She also sings folk songs from different parts of Tibet.
Chukie was able to study music and singing from great Tibetan musicians such as Lutsa and Maja Tsewang Gyurme.
Chukie Tethong and her sister joined the band Gang Chenpa.

relax, close your eyes and let the vibrational energy in the words be absorbed and do the healing. You do not have to understand what is chanted. Thank you for this lovely prayer.

🙏🏽 — sitting in a cafe in Lhasa 2007, listening to this. Spent the next 13 years there and now many lifetimes to reflect. Chukie takes me back every time

Really lovely song by Chukie. But quite funny, on the photo it is her Sister Namgyal Lhamo. Both great voices, highly recommendable. 😍
