Mexican-American singer Lhasa de Sela died on January 1 of breast cancer. She was only 37.
She sang in Spanish, French, and English, and her voice was clear and full. Her final album, the self-titled Lhasa, was released in 2009. From that album, here is the video for “Rising.” It is weird and beautiful and melancholy.
