Rangzen Shonu

Rangzen Shonu

Rangzen Shonu (bo|t=རང་བཙན་གཞོན་ནུ་|w=rang btsan gzhon nu: "Freedom Youth") is a now defunct Tibetan rock and roll band. Teresa Teng reportedly integrated some of Rangzen Shonu's signature style after hearing a smuggled cassette in 1988. [cite book|last=Havnevik|first=Hanna|coathors=Janet Gyatso|title=Women in Tibet|publisher=Columbia University Press|pages=pp.236] Rangzen Shonu is best known for the unique sound of Tibetan lyrics accompanied by acoustic guitars rather than traditional Tibetan instruments. The Tibetan word "Rangzen" in recent years has come to mean "Independence", a reference to the continued Chinese occupation of Tibet.
