About Raksha Mancham

Raksha Mancham is one of the bands leaded by belgian Eric Fabry, who goes by the pseudonym Yarin Son Gündür)(see also 1 200 000 Dead Tibetans, Bardo Thödöl). As his other projects, he claims his music to be "influenced by the music of indigenous peoples worldwide", as vague as it sounds. The belgian band in an act of cultural appropiation took their name from an old Tibetan Buddhist ceremony. Raksha Mancham describes what happens after death, the importance of 'good' and 'bad' acts, and the judgement of the dead men, as an answer for what they did in their lives. Like their chosen name suggests, their lyrical content puts them in the judge sit and from their european standpoint they pass judgement on the peoples of all over the world, the same they claim to take their music influences from. Their music is self-claimed to be a post-industrial dark view of life. According to them their music is "tribal, the rythm is primitive because we must find primal rythms that exist in each person, deeply hidden by commercializating plans. And we use drums as a central element in our project because in numerous traditional cultures, drums are priviledged bound between man and the Spiritual or Sacred." disregarding the fact that they are a band consisting of city dwelling europeans that have never been part of any tribe.
