Thimphu as the only capital on earth with no traffic light: it had one for a week before the people asked for the white-gloved officer back, and the song walks the rest of the valley -- a fortress raised without nails, a stadium built on a battlefield, chilli eaten as a vegetable, and happiness administered by a commission.

No Light On Norzin Lam

0:00 / 0:00

Style

Bhutanese Himalayan folk-fusion moving from a free-time, ornamented Zhungdra opening through a 92 BPM Boedra dance rhythm into warm 108 BPM Rigsar pop, sung by alternating male and female leads with a natural Dzongkha accent over dramnyen lute, chiwang fiddle, lim flute, yangchen dulcimer and a deep frame drum.
