Farewell Lhasa
Either I’m really out of touch, or the music media is. But here it is September and I’m just learning that the great Lhasa de Sela died in January of breast cancer. She was only 37. A vagabond, a traveler, a musician and storyteller, Lhasa belted out poignant verses through a voice as tormented as it was magical. REST IN PEACE.
Rest and return soon.

I’m so sorry you’re just finding out about this sad news — thought for sure you knew.
“Rest and return soon.” Well, so much for my daily stoicism. Excuse me, I seem to have something in my eyes . . .
