Taro and Tenzin have just released a beautiful new album , “Tibet: Awakened Heart”, also titled “Snow Lion” in Japan. The tour had 12 concerts in Tokyo, Gifu, Kyoto, Osaka, Kamakura, Niigata and Saitama, plus some beautiful walks to temples, through forests and over mountains, and some nice hot spring baths.
