How a campervan childhood influenced Lhasa's music
Lhasa de Sela is a young chanteuse with a bright future drawing on an usual past. She tells Martha how her itinerant childhood influenced her musical style. Lhasa was brought up in the family campervan travelling backwards and forwards along the Mexican/US border.
These days she enjoys a strong reputation in France and also in Canada where she now lives. What makes her new album original is that she draws not only on her experience of the road but also of her colloquial use of knowledge of Spanish, French and English.
