Editor's note: To celebrate the 60 years' peaceful liberation of Tibet Autonomous Region, China Tibet Online launches a brand new column called "Tibetan Story " to record interesting and news-worthy humane stories happened in Tibet. It has one theme per month and four articles for each theme. First series of "Tibetan Story" this month focuses on post-80s in Tibet.
Post-80s is a term symbolizing a Chinese generation who were born in the 1980s, after China was opened up to the outside world. The Tibetan post-80s share the same characteristics with their peers in other parts of the country.
As people around China were celebrating the National Day holiday, 40 young people from Sichuan Tibetan area, Qinghai Tibetan area and Tibet autonomous region stayed on the stage in Sichuan. They formed an art group and performed unique Tibetan style singing while playing the guitar and sleeves dance. Their performance has attracted people who are deeply in love with Tibetan dancing and singing.
The Tanggula style art troupe was founded in 1999. At the every beginning, group members had actively innovated the traditional Tibetan dancing and singing. They adapted numerous Tibetan folk songs which are well received by people in and outside Tibet.
In 2002, they issued an album "Tanggula Storm", which still is the most popular Tibetan folk CD. At the same time, they are active to participate in the benefit performance for relieving the people in stricken areas.
