Lhasa de Sela (born 1972), better known as Lhasa, is an American Canadian singer and songwriter who was raised in Mexico and the United States and now lives in Canada.
Lhasa was born in Big Indian, New York, of a Mexican father and an American mother. Her first decade was spent criss-crossing the United States and Mexico in a converted school bus with her parents and three sisters where they were home-schooled by her mother. She started singing in a Greek cafe in San Francisco when she was thirteen. At age nineteen she moved to Montreal and sang for five years in bars, where she developed the material that eventually became her first album, La Llorona, released in 1997. La Llorona, which mixes traditional South American songs with original songs, was strongly influenced by Mexican music, but also Eastern European gypsy music and alternative rock. The album was released by the Montreal independent record label Audiogram and brought her much success, including the Félix Award for “Artiste québécois — musique du monde” in 1997 and the Juno Award for Best Global Artist, in 1998.
After touring in Europe and North America for several years, Lhasa left her singing career in 1999 and moved to France to join her three sisters in a circus/theatre company named Pocheros. She eventually reached Marseille, where she started writing songs again.

I prefer her singing in Spanish. Even though the last album is not bad, it is not as good as the other two where she mainly sings in Spanish.

All of you complaining and asking for a page for the "other" lhasa...guess what? That's up to you! :0 Just clickety-click those little correction links on track, album, etc. pages. Guess some people just can't take the responsibility of Web 2.0 and all that it entails. ^_^
