A second show was added the following night to accommodate demand for tickets.Burial Montreal is Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery. Other performers included Ariane Moffatt, Esmerine, Watson, Mario Légaré, Arthur H, Jérôme Minière and Brazilian-born singer Bïa. To open the concert, The Barr Brothers played together with Sarah Pagé, Miles Perkin and Joe Grass, interpreting Lhasa's 'Small Song'. Lhasa's manager, David-Étienne Savoie, and her collaborator Watson originated the concept of a memorial concert, and the musicians met in Watson's studio to rehearse. Musicians who collaborated with Lhasa performed, along with other artists such as Katie Moore, Thomas Hellman, and Plants and Animals. Along with her family she listened to a wide variety of recordings including songs by Chilean musician Victor Jara as a young child she dreamed of marrying him some day, not knowing he had been killed.Ī sold-out memorial concert called 'La Route chante: A Community Show for Lhasa' was held on January 6, 2012, at the Rialto Theatre in Montreal, honoring the life of Lhasa. Both her parents spoke fluent Spanish, but she was raised speaking primarily English, with Spanish added during a total of eight years' residence in Mexico. Her first decade was spent criss-crossing the United States and Mexico, living and traveling in a converted school bus with her parents and siblings, home-schooled by her mother. Her mother played harp and her father played flute. Lhasa had a Lebanese great-grandfather named Basel who sang in six languages. Her paternal grandmother was Carmen de Obarrio (1906–1982), a Panamanian pianist who studied in Los Angeles with Egon Petri, and with Edgar Varèse in San Francisco. Lhasa's maternal grandmother was Elena Karam (1909–2001), an actress best known for her leading role in Elia Kazan's film America America. According to Lhasa, her hippie parents did not give her a name until the age of five months her mother was reading a book about Tibet and the word Lhasa 'just grabbed her' as the right name for the baby girl. Lhasa was born in Big Indian, New York, of a Mexican father, language instructor Alejandro 'Alex' Sela, and an American mother, photographer and actress Alexandra Karam.
This is the folktale of the crying woman, resembled the mythological wife of Quetzalcoatl who has lost her children. At the age of 37.Alejandro Sela, Lhasa's father, received his doctorate on literature of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and taught her of the legend of La Llorona. Her entire work are only three albumns: La llorona, The living road and Lhasa. Lhasa was a rare case of excellence and popular phenomenon.Ĭause she made a beautiful music and classical at the time. Canada and, there she meet Yves Desrosiers, a sensible and great guitar player. In ninety ninety-seven she moved to Montreal.
Imagine: at the age of thirteen she was singing in cafes, in San Francisco. If you are thinking, wow so she grew up in an artist and very stimulating environment you are right bro, cause it was like that. She born in 1972, her father was a writer and Spanish teacher.
Let me explain a little: Lhasa is an american – mexican singer. But honesty too, so I bring to you one very sophisticated record. It`s thru, I`m like Homer celebrating food when I speak about music. One of the best and most beautiful albums I ever heard. So, I said to myself: I have to share something different, something especial for my friends, cause I want open their doors of perception – yes, like Jim said, you know, before pass away – and, with that purpose take one of the Wirti`s classical. Maybe, and if you, eventually, pass for here, shout know that not only sixtie`s garage I like, no. Well, for this occasion I chose Lhasa de Sela. So, I decided come here and share with you this moment. With some strange and unfamiliar fell of joy, some indefinable sensation of happiness. Today is falling the first cold here in my town.
