Reflections on My World Tour 2025 - Tallinn
On May 11th, 2025, a long-held dream of mine finally came true.
That evening, I stepped onto the stage of Alexela Concert Hall in Tallinn, surrounded by friends, fellow artists, and a sea of glowing faces. Together, we shared Himalayan Voice: Sacred Mantras of Peace & Healing — a concert that was not only a musical performance, but also a living prayer.
I now have the full recordings beautifully edited and capture the spirit of that night. After months of post-production, the live music videos are ready to be shared. Starting November 20th, 2024, I will release them on my YouTube channel — every Thursday and Sunday. Each video is not just a performance, but a meditation — a sacred space where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your heart.
A wish that took ten years to bloom
In 2012, I met an Estonian Buddhist in Amdo, Tibet. She had come to study Tibetan Medicine at the Qinghai Provincial Hospital, where I was working as an intern in the External Therapy Department. By karma, we spent almost an entire season together, and that friendship became a turning point in my life.
It was through her that I first traveled to Estonia — arriving on December 31st, 2014 — to sing and offer lectures on Tibetan medicine and spiritual healing. Soon after, the Estonian Academy of Traditional Tibetan Medicine (EATTM) was in need of a resident teacher, and with the support of many beautiful souls, I was invited to fill that role in 2015. It has now been more than a decade — long enough to say I’ve eaten enough Estonian potatoes to feel truly at home!
Over these years, I’ve performed countless Tibetan Healing Mantra concerts with gifted local musicians. I still remember one winter evening, walking through Solaris in the heart of Tallinn, silently making a wish:
“One day, I will invite musicians from the Himalayas to perform together with Estonian artists — to weave a sound that unites East and West, ancient and modern.”
Ten years later, that wish came true.
Himalayan Voices became a living bridge — bringing together extraordinary musicians and singers from the Himalayas and Northern Europe, each carrying their own sound, spirit, and culture. Together, we created a one-of-a-kind musical ritual: a night of stillness, devotion, and unity.
The two chapters of our journey
The concert was structured as two chapters — like the two breaths of a prayer.
Part I – Opening the Heart
We began with:
Guests from far away
Purification Mantra of Five Elements
Compassion Mantra
Mother (Tibetan folk song)
Green Tara Mantra
White Tara Mantra
This sequence led the audience from purification to compassion — from cleansing the body’s energy to opening the heart. “Mother” is a poem of gratitude, reminding us of the love of the great Earth Mother within us all. Then came Green Tara, the embodiment of courage, and White Tara, the blessing of long life and health.
Part II – Returning to Wisdom
The second part carried the vibration of healing and remembrance:
Yuthok Long Prayer and Mantra — dedicated to Yuthok Yonten Gonpo, the father of Tibetan medicine
Eliminating Obstacle Prayer — a traditional travel blessing I grew up hearing in my family
Vajrasattva Mantra feat. Phub Zam — a closing purification ritual, symbolizing renewal and light
When I sang these ancient words, I felt my homeland breathing through me — the voices of my grandparents, the sound of wind in the mountains, the memory of countless prayers spoken across generations.
🎶 The musicians who made it possible
The concert gathered extraordinary friends and artists from across the Himalayas and the Baltics:
Manose Singh Newa (Nepal, bansuri flute),
Phub Zam (Bhutan, vocals),
Gonpo Wanggyal (Amdo, dranyen and throat singing),
Joosep Kõrvits, Robert Jürjendal, Liis Lutsoja, and Martin-Eero Kõressaar (Estonia).
Their artistry turned each mantra into a conversation between mountains and sea, between ancient and modern sound.
🌿 A note from my heart
This concert is a bridge between cultures, but also a bridge between the visible and invisible — between human voice and the silence that listens. I offer these recordings with the wish that they bring peace, clarity, and gentleness to your day. May they remind us that, no matter where we are, we are connected through sound — through vibration — through love.
With gratitude,
Drukmo Gyal
