When the album La Llorona was released in 1997, it revealed a singular universe, carried by an extremely expressive voice. At 25 years old, Lhasa de Sela released her first album in spanish. The creation of this disc owes a lot to her meeting with the multi-instrumentalist Yves Desrosiers, who pens with her most of the compositions, arrangements and artistic direction. But La Llorona already demonstrates a staggering artistic maturity, that will be confirmed by the rest of Lhasa’s career. La Llorona, it’s the mourner from Mexican myths, a ghost woman who, in the middle of the night, comes back to haunt the villagers with her crying. Gypsy accents are added to this mythical dimension, as well as images of travel and the intimate circus. Halfway between fantasy and reality, Lhasa leads us in a fertile quest for emotion. Her voice is hypersensitive; it boils and caresses, fulminates and exults. Song after song, Lhasa hooks us up and never lets go. Her extreme sincerity, the quality of her songs, the subtle complicity between the musicians and her unique and unforgettable voice make this album a timeless classic. © BM/Qobuz
