Considered as a major tribe, the Monpa of Arunachal Pradesh are believed to be the only nomadic tribe in Northeast India and have a close affinity with the Sharchops of Bhutan.</p>
<p>
Interestingly, the Chief Minister is a Monpa himself. Other well-known Monpas include Ngawang Tashi Bapu who was nominated for the Grammy in 2006 in the Traditional World Music category.</p>

Dramyin, the popular string instrument played by the artist is a traditional Himalayan folk music lute with six strings. It is used by the Drukpa Buddhist culture and society in Bhutan, and also in Tibet, Ladakh, Sikkim, and Himalayan West Bengal.</p>
