Artist : Esmerine Release : La Lechuza (June 7, 2011) Recommendation : If you don't buy this album, we'll suspect you of ulterior motives Esmerine started as a duo constructed by Bruce Cawdrom (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and Beckie Foon (Thee Silver Mt. Zion). The group is now returning after their six year hiatus with two new band members: Sarah Page (Lhasa de Sela, The Barr Brothers) and Andrew Barr (Lhasa de Sela, The Slip, Land of Talk, [...]

«Snow Day for Lhasa» — одна из трёх композиций с нового альбома Esmerine, записанная при участии пианиста и вокалиста Patrick Watson. Изначально Esmerine был дуэтом перкуссиониста из Godspeed You! Black Emperor и виолончелистк и Thee Silver Mt, Zion, позже расширенный двумя участниками The Barr Brothers до камерного квартета. «La Lechuza» посвящён потери друга, канадской фолк исполнительницы Lhasa de Sela и, возможно, этот альбом — одно из самых красивых посвящений, которое можно сделать товарищу. Деликатная и, в то же время, предельно эмоциональная запись.

Η Lhasa de Sela ήταν μια Αμερικανομεξικά να τραγουδοποιός. Την όμορφη, βαθιά φωνή της την είχαμε ακούσει να συνοδεύει την πολυαγαπημένη του Stuart Staples στο "Sometimes It Hurts" των Tindersticks και αργότερα στο "That Leaving Feeling" από τον προσωπικό του δίσκο του 2006. Πιο πρόσφατα την ακούσαμε σε κάτι εξίσου υπέροχο, το ομώνυμο κομμάτι του αγαπημένου μου δίσκου του 2009 Wooden Arms του Patrick Watson. Η Lhasa έφυγε από τη ζωή μόλις στα 37 της χρόνια, την περσινή Πρωτοχρονιά. Έφυγε νικημένη και αυτή από την ανίκητη και [...]

Lhasa de Sela : Anywhere on This Road [ purchase ] Lhasa de Sela, Lhasa to her fans, was born in Mexico and eventually settled in Montreal. She had, as they say, "big ears"; she heard everything as she traveled throughout North America and Europe, and it all became part of her sound. So one song might show the influence of gypsy music, another might sound jazzy, still another might suggest her Mexican roots, and all on the same album. She sang in Spanish, English, and French, and sounded comfortable in [...]
2009 release, the third album from the unique Mexican-American singer/songwriter. Written entirely in English and produced by Lhasa herself (she collaborated with Patrick Watson, Freddy Koella and Sarah Pag‚ on some songs), recorded entirely to tape, this album feels like a singer, songwriter, arranger, and producer coming into her own. The instrumentation is simple yet unusual - harp, guitar,
Having rounded up most of the deaths of musicians in 2009, I'll start to do so monthly as of now. I won't include everybody who has died. So jazz drummer Ed Thigpen, who died on 13 January at 79, doesn't feature because I have no music by him. Others won't feature because their genre is meaningless to me (death metal, for ironic example). And a few will surely slip under my radar, though probably fewer than the numbers ignored by the Grammys. I will include only musicians; songwriters, producers, managers, label bosses and so on are excluded unless they also [...]

The world has lost a talent so immeasurable many will continue without knowing what they have lost. Mexican-American Montreal based chanteuse Lhasa de Sela passed away this January 1st from breast cancer at the age of 37. One of my favorite singers ever, Lhasa's voice and musical styles were unusual and haunting; no one out there was like her, not by a long shot. Lhasa exploded onto the scene in 1997 with the release of her album La Llorona (composed in Spanish) which blended Eastern European gypsy folk musics with Mexican musical genres. No [...]

Lhasa - Anywhere On This Road As we all have been seeing and hearing, we saw yet another "untimely death' of a very talented and well known artist today, Jay Retard. Due to the Holidays, or perhaps the flood of bad news, some may have missed the death of Lhasa de Sela who was born in America but was quite an exotic blend. Her first album, "La Llorona", as a curiosity, an exotic accident. The singer and songwriter appeared from nowhere in 1997 with an album that defied definition, capturing a Latin world of her own [...]

Bonjour, C'est avec un hommage que je vais ouvrir la sélection de cette semaine. Née le 27 septembre 1972 à Big Indian dans le nord de l'état de New-York, la chanteuse Lhasa de Sela est décédée chez elle à Montréal un peu avant minuit, pendant la soirée du 1er janvier 2010. Des suite d'un cancer du sein, une brillante artiste nous a quitté... Trop tôt malheureusement... [...]

This week brought the sad news that Montreal-based singer-songwriter Lhasa De Sela passed away on New Year's Day, after a 21-month battle with breast cancer. The American-born artist had a one-of-a-kind upbringing with her Mexican father and American mother, spending most of her childhood traveling between the two countries, developing her unique and decidedly pan-cultural artistic skills that led her to sing in English, Spanish, and French. From her official site: "Lhasa's unusual childhood was marked by long periods of nomadic wandering through Mexico and the U.S., with her parents and sisters in [...]

Lhasa de Sela (1972 - 2010)
A través de un comunicado publicado en la página oficial de Lhasa de Sela , nos enteramos el día de ayer del triste deceso de esta gran cantante, ocurrido la noche del primero de enero de este 2010. La intérprete falleció luego de una batalla de casi dos años contra el cáncer, dejándonos como legado tres maravillosos álbumes en los que mezcló con gran tino la música tradicional mexicana, los ritmos gitanos, la world music, el rock y el folk para crear un sonido único adornado por una voz profunda y simplemente cautivante. [...]
O mostră clară că viaţa e nedreaptă Cântăreaţa Lhasa de Sela a pierdut în 1 ianuarie 2010 lupta în faţa cancerului. The singer Lhasa de Sela passed away in her Montreal home on the night of January 1st 2010, just before midnight.

Throughout this difficult period, she continued to touch the lives of those around her [...]
Quando nel 1997 uscì la "La Llorona", album d'esordio di una sconosciuta Lhasa immediatamente la stampa musicale gridò al miracolo, un'artista finalmente capace di cantare l'America Latina e gli Stati Uniti in una mescola di stili, interpretando in spagnolo country e melodie zigane, canzoni popolari e mariachi con uno stile unico, intimo e appassionato, caldo [...]

There's only one Margo Timmins, I know that, and thank heaven for her. If there could be two, though, Lhasa De Sela would be the other one. This atmospheric country strum would have fit nicely on The Trinity Sessions. Lhasa de Sela - Fool's Gold (mp3) From Lhasa De Sela's Lhasa , just released last week.
