Since its origin, Epic of King Gesar has gotten around from one mouth to another, and has become a tradition and art form to this day. This art form is like a zarzuela, which involves narratives and singing, as well as graphic explanations. It is mainly acted by expert artists in Tibet. The performer usually brings a musical instrument as accompaniment. Because of the length of the epic, usually only a chapter can be told over several days, but listeners never seem tired of it. The artists always proclaim that they are the avatars of a deity who endow them with a sharp tongue overnight. These artists are succeeded from generation to generation. The most famous artists are the deceased old man Zhaba, the said avatar of a famous general of King Gesar, and the nearly 40-year-old woman Yumei, the said avatar of a concubine of King Gesar.
