Tom Waits - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You - Rare Live Performance (1973)

A musical love affair between two singular artists, "Hotel Amour" is the long-awaited collaboration between beloved Pink Martini founder and bandleader Thomas Lauderdale, and international singing sensation, the crowd-surfung tragi-comedienne and queen of Chanson, Meow Meow. These two friends have performed and composed together across the globe for years, from the backstreet bars of Berlin to the glamorous stage of the Sydney Opera House, from London's legendary Royal Albert Hall to Mary's Club, Portland Oregon's legendary strip club. "Hotel  Amour" features several original songs destined to be classics, alongside exquisite journeys into the French, German and Shanghainese canon of the 20th century, with alluring tastes of the 1920s and 30s, bittersweet  tragedy, humor, politics, witty wicked Weimar, and aching French torch song. And the album is enhanced by a bevy of guest stars, including joyful duets with Rufus Wainwright, Barry Humphries (of Dame Edna fame), and The von Trapps, as well as a very special live recording with the legendary pianist and composer Michel Legrand.

Edna Vazquez is a fearless singer, songwriter and guitarist whose haunting and powerful voice and musical talent transcend the boundaries of language to engage and uplift her audience. 

Born in Jalisco, Mexico, and now based in Portland, Oregon, Edna has been touring full time with the globe-trotting "little orchestra" Pink Martini as a special guest singer for the last two years, her featured moments on stage inevitably bringing a roaring standing ovation at every tour stop. 

Now, to help give this incredible talent an even wider exposure, Pink Martini bandleader Thomas Lauderdale has produced a special five-song ep featuring Edna's soul-stirring singing accompanied by Pink Martini. Edna's original song "Sola Soy" is the highlight of the album, alongside memorable classic repertoire in Spanish, such as the title track and "Quizás, quizás, quizás."
