Lhasa De Sela

via Good Shit:

Lhasa De Sela
passed on Jan. 1 of this year. She was born to a Harvard Spanish
professor and a Jewish- eastern European mother,she was
Mexican-American lived on a school bus traveling the U.S. and Mexico
most of young life. She sings in Spanish, French and English. She
reminds me of Edith Piaf or Lila Downs also has that timeless gypsy
sense and gets the most out of a silent pause that I have ever heard.
She passed to breast cancer at 37, working until the very end. Her
later work was from the time she faced her own mortality. She is
beautiful. There is much more to her story...
