In his newsletter Luka Bloom mentions that it is 50 years since the Dalai Lama went into exile. He hasn't been back to Tibet since, which is so sad. When I first saw Luka about 10 years ago here in Utrecht the song that moved and impressed me most was "As I Waved Goodbye", which he had not recorded yet. Luka also still had his sruti box at the time, which provided beautiful accompaniment to the song.
Looking at the documentaries about the history of Tibet and the current situation makes me sad. And there is no sign of things getting better out there yet.
Luka recorded the song in Whelans in Dublin last February, and it is beautiful as ever: As I Waved Goodbye
