| Lhasa de Sela by Jeremy at 9:04 am EDT, Aug 26, 2004 | |||
"If you can imagine P.J. Harvey singing in English, French and Spanish, you're almost there..." "Intimate lyrics and a dramatic intensity worthy of Leonard Cohen... Here, surely, is a multi-lingual global diva." The Living Road centers on the metaphor of life as a road. A gathering of original titles sung in Spanish, English and French, the album bridges physical distances as it links the musical traditions of the present and the past. The songs on her stunning, award-winning debut album, La Llorona, are all in Spanish, which adds to the veil of mystery that is woven into every song, as Lhasa mines the rhythms and melodies of Latin folklore, poetry in the Andalusian tradition of Federico Garcia-Lorca, European gypsy and klezmer music, and norteño canciones along with more conventional French (and French-Canadian) café styles. | |||
