Doe Paoro - "Born Whole"

Doe Paoro is a New York based singer/songwriter with a difference. The difference is that while traveling through the Himalayas, she trained in Lhamo, a Tibetan folk opera tradition, at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts. The style of singing in the tradition that dates back to the 14th century, is described as being vocally acrobatic. Her vocal training was life changing for her.... and as you will hear on "Born Whole," we are the better for it. "Born Whole" was inspired by a woman she met in Cambodia who had lost her husband during the Khmer Rouge period, while pregnant. She told her about her constant search for another husband. This made her think about the mythical idea that we must have that partner for our life to be complete. Like we are born whole but become half when we lose that attachment. It's a beautiful piano led indie-pop/soul song - oh, her vocals are pretty good as well.
