Tshering Dema from Khoma village sings "Tsangmo," a ballad. According to oral history, the tradition of singing ballads in Bhutan can be dated back to Lam Pajo Drukgom Zhikpo, a Tibetan lama who came to the region in 1224 CE.  The spread of the Drukpa school in Bhutan is often attributed to the tradition of singing ballads. Lam Pajo Drukgom Zhikpo and his consort Sonam Paldron are said to have met while singing ballads at the Bridge of Prophecy (Lungtenzampa), currently located below the Lungtenphug Lower Secondary School in Thimphu. A ballad can have one or two stanzas, or many more based on one theme. However, this particular ballad by Tsering Dema brings different themes in each of its stanzas. Some of these themes connect to fate and destiny, religious matters, and the unnecessary possession of wealth, to cite but a few.
