Tehelka Music Project - JJI Exile Brothers - Video
PUBLISHED:  Oct 21, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
The band, comprised of three brothers, takes it title from the intials
of the three musicians, Jamyang, Jigme and Ingsel. Jamyang, Eldest
brother, resonsible for lead vocals and bass guiter, while Jigme, middle
brother, plays lead guiter and a wide range of other instruments, and
Ingsel, the youngest of the group, is the bands percussionist and works
with a number of traditional Tibetan instruments as well.

Born and raised in exile, the brothers use their music to spread
awareness of the Tibetan freedom struggle and to convey messages of
peace and love on a global scale. In their own words, the brothers
humbly serve to "carry the spirit of the freedom struggle from the past,
re-live it in the present, and preserve it for the future".

Drawing on numerous styles of contemporary music such as rock, jazz and
blues as well as on their own traditional Tibetan roots, the band's
music is an honest and hopeful expression of the immortal Tibetan spirit
and a reminder of the innate human qualities of love, compassion and
truth.

Founded in 1998, they have had the opportunity to perform in
numerous environments, including a private performance for Karmapa as
well as one near His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Using the universal language of music, the JJI Exile Brothers boldly
carry the message of the Tibetan people and their fight for freedom with
songs that transcend barriers of time, culture, language and belief.
They believe in the power of music to reach people from all walks of
life, without discrimination of race, country, or religion. "Through
music," they say, "we can bring the word together."
