I watched the clip on BBS TV and I wondered if we are rejuvenating an old vanishing culture, or recreating a new one because I have never seen people and kids go singing “Lo Lek” around my villages in my plus-40 years stay in Bhutan. Or perhaps, I wasn’t from the place where they do that but then I wonder, can we consider that as “OUR” tradition? Wouldn’t that be more appropriate to consider it as a local custom rather than OUR culture?
Just a thought.
Happy New Year!!
