lovely rythm and such a refreshing language sound

We were saddened to hear that the remarkable singer Lhasa de Sela succumbed to breast cancer at age 37. Her performance at Symphony Space in the Fall of 2005 truly embodied our eclectic spirit, taking cues from Gypsy music, French cabaret, Mexican rancheras, and American country ballads. Listen to the concert here and find out why this explosive artist will be so deeply missed. <a title="theglobeandmail.com" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/lhasa-de-sela-her-songs-like-her-life-went-everywhere/article1420009/">Click here</a> to read an appreciation from Canda's Globe and Mail. The Boston Globe calls Lhasa "the ultimate global chanteuse" while the New York Daily News describes her music as combining "the lyricism of Tom Waits, the dark tones of Nick Cave and the sensuality of Kate Bush." Taking her cues from Gypsy music, French cabaret, Mexican rancheras and American country ballads, her music is explosive.
With violin, accordion, trumpet, tuba, sousaphone, theremin, bouzouki, piano and percussion backing the soaring and heartbreaking vocals of Nick Urata, DeVotchKa's sound is transcendent. For this special show, DeVotchKa play as a duo, spotlighting urgent and tragic vocals and classically trained violin.
