Herding Songs From Guoluo
Here we present three endangered herding songs that were recorded in gcig sgril County and were sung by Tibetan nomads living at high altitudes. These songs describe the landscape and praise their livestock that is nomads’ livelihood. Locals sing these songs while they are herding, and when harsh weather or other difficulties befall them, such songs comfort them. Mkha’ spyod dbang mo recorded these songs in Zho gsar Township, Gcig sgril County, Mgo log Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province.
