LHASA DE SELA 1972-2010
Singer/songwriter Lhasa de Sela has passed away at the age of 37, succumbed to breast cancer. She moved us deeply with her performances at the Reykjavík Arts Festival last May, which sadly were to be her last, as she was forced to cancel a long international tour scheduled for autumn 2009.
The Festival team is very grateful for the opportunity to get to know her during her visit to Iceland. According to Sela's manager she was happy to have come as she always wanted to perform in Iceland. The Festival team offers its deepest sympathies to Sela´s family and friends. Her music continues to be an integral part of our lives.
