Yes, Lhasa was a great artist. She’s past away to young.

Hi Pierre, yes, far too young...
I think my memory cheated me: she lived and died in Canada (Montreal), but was actually born in New York.

Yes you’re right. She died(breast cancer) the first of January 2010 (age 37).

Another fine example of her work.

Hi Bart,



Thanks for the reminder. She’s one of my favorite artists. My favorite album of hers is “The Living Road”, and specifically the track “Anywhere on this Road” - a mesmerizing cut.

She's Canadian, but we can safely post her here.

Very good remaster (better than our CD).

She was so gifted! Really sad [emoji20]

Della Bosiers
Ben van der Linden - Momenten

When I was a kid, I grew up with this Flemish voice.
On this album, sung in French and Flemish, she shows she hasn't lost her voice at the age of 70.

Pepe Habichuela & The Bollywood Strings

Fusion by one of the Flamenco masters blending some Indian music, released in 2001

From the site flamecosounds.com:

This CD is considered historic for the following reasons: one, it is the first album that fuses Gypsy flamenco with the music of India, the homeland of the Romá (Gypsies). The ease with which Habichuela's guitar blends with the colorful Indian melodies of the Bollywood Strings, full of microtones and oriental embellishments is truly astonishing. Two, this work is a fruit of the combined effort of four different members of this outstanding flamenco family, the Carmona: maestro Pepe Habichuela; his son Josemi, himself a great guitarist, composer, arranger and producer; Juan Carmona, guitar virtuoso and also a great composer; and, last but not least, Antonio Carmona, an extraordinary percussionist.

The music on CD exudes the joy of living, pure and sincere as the ancestral wisdom of the Gypsy, who, through the thousands of years and miles preserved their soul and their art.
