"The world is down to people’s human emotions and what they are going through rather than where they’re from.” Angus and Julia




Angus and Julia Stone are a brother/sister duo from Sydney, Australia. Their debut album "A book like this"(2007) reached the UK top and earned the platinum for the 70,000 copies sold. The next album was self-produced "Down the way" and was released in 2010.
Their breathtaking songs about love, filled with sadness and joy, accompanied by acoustic guitars and gentle piano, can't fail to touch you.






Bernard Zuel described : "Her voice has a fractured feel like Jolie Holland; his has a smoke-on-the-beach drawl."

Singer of the week: Lhasa de Sela

"I know a song sung at the right moment can be such a very powerful thing"- Lhasa de Sela


Born in New York, daughter of a Mexican father and Americam mother, Lhasa started to sing at the age of 13 in a Greek cafe. At the age of 19, she moved to Montreal and started recording. Her 3 albums: "La llorona"-1997, "The living road"-2003 and her last one "Lhasa", are in 3 different languages: Spanish, French and English.

The album "Lhasa" is a different style from what we knew, her deeply emotional voice approaches intimate folk compositions and the instruments are a little unusual: harp, guitar, pedal steel, bass and piano.


Months later after her album is released, she dies of breast cancer. Even if she died, her music is still with us.
