Lhasa de la Sela, Image taken from wikipedia
Today (so very late I should say) I read the news that one of my favorite singers / songwriters passed away on January 1st, 2010. Lhasa de la Sela was born in Big Indian, New York, though her nomadic life took her around Mexico, the US, France and Canada (here is a good article on her). She was 37 years old, and during her short life she recorded 3 outstanding albums. She sung effortlessly in English, Spanish and French, and could transform different types of music (rock, Mexican, folk, etc) into her own personal language.
