1. Description
The Epic of King Gesar is the central epic poem of Tibet and much of Central Asia. With about 140 Gesar ballad singers surviving today (including singers of Tibetan, Mongolian, Buryat and Tu ethnicities), it is prized as one of the few living epics (although parts of the Turkic Epic of Manas are also still regularly performed by manaschi in Kyrgyzstan). The epic, believed to be approximately 1000 years old, concerns the fearless king Gesar (Geser), who ruled the legendary Kingdom of Ling. 2. Details
