The mega music festival that will happen simultaneously with the Tshechu is a great opportunity to celebrate and promote the culture and diversity of local communities, and both traditional as well as contemporary music. It will also be a platform for introducing fresh talent to audiences, and for foreign visitors to enjoy Bhutanese music and foster a deeper interest in Bhutanese culture and music," concluded Dorji Dhradhul, the director general of the Department of Tourism, Bhutan.
