Abstract
Nangsa wanted to be a nun but the head of the government [Pen Drawa Tsan dup], a King in Uzang, forced her to marry him. She came back as an incarnation to Gyangtse, her birth place, as an incarnation of Tara. Primarily a collection of folk and religious offering songs sung by a specialised class of folk singers (Emeda) in Lo. Most of these songs are sung by Tashi Tsering, the last remaining Emeda singer in Lo. In many of these songs, he accompanies himself with the nha, a pair of large kettledrums played with wooden mallets. Other 'khro glu are sung by women in Lo Monthang, Yandol, Pema Dolkar, and Khang Lhamo.
