Welcome to my Website and Blog

I’m Namgyal Rapper

I was born in Tibet in the Kham region, I now live in NYC.

I know we Tibetans are facing a very difficulty situation since our families are being killed, raped, tortured in Tibet by Communist Chinese (CCP). I’m really sad, frustrated and scared at the same time.

Time is running and running

His Holiness The Dalai Lama is getting older and older and the Tibetan situation is getting more & more tense everyday.

So I keep thinking what I can do to save our people and our culture in this very short time???

I think we Tibetans need to get up and tell every one to rise up now, especially young Tibetan stars to rise up and take responsibility and to also show what they can do to tell the stories to the world about the situation in Tibet right now, through music, poems, art, dance, theater, in any field we can….especially we need young Tibetan stars to come and compete with the CCP using today’s technology which is very important for the future of Tibet.

So I urge Older Tibetans to give them the opportunity to expose themselves and to urge them to come to the front line and act now, now is the time…the only time…as we all know time doesn’t repeat. So whenever I meet young Tibetans I ask them to come to the front line take the stage and rock the house….some times they ask me, do you think I can do that? I say yes..why not?? Young Tibetans are so talented, educated and open minded, I met many of them from the nomad community, we have 11 young stars now that are amazing. I know they can do it, but you have to be there to let them to do it, if we can do that then we can change the situation in Tibet and in exile as well.

This is one reason I started writing Tibetan Rap songs about the Tibetan situation…so now young Tibetans can do the same even better now days we have so many rappers who talk about Tibetan situation, I made it….when I first wrote rap songs Tibetans thought I was crazy maybe, but now so many Tibetans none Tibetans love my songs, my album “SAYA DHUK“was sold out in Madison, so you can change things, it just take some effort to do it. Some people ask me how far can you go? I say to them, you can go as far as you want!

I’m planning to do some more projects with nomad groups which are very interesting like making small movies, rap poems, theater, other musical events, a lot more so if any one want to do some thing then let work together it will be fun!!

If any one wants to help with these projects please contact Namgyal here
