Lhasa de Sela Sings Fairuz "Aatini al-Nay" اعطني الناي وغنّ "Donne moi la flute"

The singer Lhasa de Sela passed away in her Montreal home on the night of January 1st 2010, just before midnight. She succumbed to breast cancer after a twenty-one month long struggle, which she faced with courage and determination.
One of her last performances was her rendition of "Donne-moi la flute et chante" أعطني الناي وغنّ
The lyrics were written by Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran and the song was originally made popular by Fairuz in the 1970s.

this is not one of her last performance. This clip was taped from a Montreal show hosted by France Beaudoin in july 2006. Lhasa was there to support the Lebanese

She came into the studio using her bicycle

Such a sweet soul and soooo humble.

I missed her dearly. The Foufoune Electrique, a club she knew, and the jazz festival, a place she use to go every summer...always on bike ! Montreal wont be the same next summer. i just dont want the summer to come.

Lhasa... Your music will continue to be a part of my heart and soul, and the fact that you sang Fairuz's song shows how much you also were aware of your great grandfather's Lebanese roots. And you do such a wonderful job here.. . The lyrics by Gibran are not easy, but you deliver it with such grace and beauty. You are the deepest recent loss in my life at the moment, and you are my music Prophet. Rest in Peace, O beautiful angel rise, rise, rise

@mima1234561 She did not die - the lies from all the old kings of Europe died when she passed into the snowflakes of Lawrence.
