Adieu Lhasa

Soon this space will be too small
And I’ll go outside
To the huge hillside
Where the wild winds blow
And the cold stars shine

- Lhasa de Sela

We are saddened by the news of the passing of such a talented artist and kind person. Lhasa de Sela died after a 21 month struggle with breast cancer, on the night of January 1st. She leaves behind a community marked by her role as kind nieghbor, remarkable friend, and stellar collaborator.

Take a minute to get to know her music, and take a glimpse at some footage of an intimate concert recorded by Vincent Moon at Patrick Watson's loft last April on La Blogothèque.

We hope to not soon again experience such a devastating week for the Montreal music community as the one we've just known.
