Lhasa de Sela dies, aged 37
p2pnet news view | Music:- Singer Lhasa de Sela, who was “well aware of her own mortality,” died on January 1 in her Montreal apartment, says the Canadian Press.
She’d been “battling breast cancer for 21 months, finally succumbing to her illness at the age of 37,” says the story, going on:
“Born on Sept. 27, 1972, in Big Indian, N.Y., to a Mexican father and American mother, she spent her childhood travelling across the U.S. and Mexico in a school bus with her family.
“She moved to Montreal at age 19. Her albums — 1997’s Spanish-language, Mexican and Gypsy-influenced debut La Llorona, 2003’s The Living Road (sung in French, English and Spanish) and her latest (her first all-English release) — have collectively sold over a million copies worldwide.”
