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