In the past, the tradition of narrating and singing ballads was popular among young people, being a manner of indirectly and ritualistically expressing both positive and negative emotions. In this video, Cheki sings “From the Top of the Hills in Lhasa” (Lhasa Ribö Tsele) to two different tunes. The first part is in an antagonizing tune, and the verses advise against putting prayer flags on the hills at Lhasa in Tibet, despite one’s devotion to the prayer flags. In the second part of the ballad the tune changes, and the verses aim to console the opponent, so that there can be reconciliation between the two parties.
