Lhasa de Sela ,
(born 1972), better known as Lhasa, is a Mexican American singer and songwriter who was raised in Mexico and the United States and now lives in Canada.
Lhasa was born in Big Indian, New York, of a Mexican father and an American mother. Her first decade was spent criss-crossing the United States and Mexico in a converted school bus with her parents and three sisters where they were home-schooled by her mother. She started singing in a Greek cafe in San Francisco when she was thirteen. At age nineteen she moved to Montreal and sang for five years in bars, where she developed the material that eventually became her first album, La Llorona, released in 1997. La Llorona, which mixes traditional South American songs with original songs, was strongly influenced by Mexican music, but also Eastern European gypsy music and alternative rock. The album was released by the Montreal independent record label Audiogram and brought her much success, including the Félix Award for “Artiste québécois — musique du monde” in 1997 and the Juno Award for Best Global Artist, in 1998.
After touring in Europe and North America for several years, Lhasa left her singing career in 1999 and moved to France to join her three sisters in a circus/theatre company named Pocheros. She eventually reached Marseille, where she started writing songs again. She then returned to Montreal to produce her second album, The Living Road, which was released in 2003. While La Llorona had been entirely in Spanish, The Living Road included songs in English, French and Spanish. A two year tour followed the release of “The Living Road”, taking her and her group to seventeen countries. She was a guest singer on the Tindersticks’ track ‘Sometimes It Hurts’ off their Waiting for the Moon album, and later joined Tindersticks’ singer Stuart Staples for a duet on the track ‘That Leaving Feeling’, found on his Leaving Songs album. She has also appeared as a guest on the albums of French singers Arthur H and Jérôme Minière, and the French gypsy music group Bratsch. Lhasa received the BBC World Music Award for Best Artist of the Americas in 2005. The accumulated worldwide sales of her two albums are nearing one million. ….Read More

Ultravox ,
(formerly Ultravox!) are a British New Wave band that rose to prominence in the late 1970s/early 1980s. They were one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the early 1980s. The band was particularly associated with the New Romantic movement, although it both pre- and post-dated New Romanticism by several years. They are arguably best known for the song Reap The Wild Wind in the United States and Vienna elsewhere.
This band had two major periods (1973 to 1979, and 1980 to 1986) in which it was, literally, “managed” by two different band leaders, who were never in the band together. In the first period the frontman was John Foxx, now a successful electronic musician, who oriented the band to experimental sounds and changes of styles (glam, punk, industrial, synthpop, art) until 1979, when he decided to quit to become a soloist and dedicate to electronic and synthpop music; in the second period, Midge Ure was the frontman, and who oriented, along with Billy Currie, the band to a more pop and electronic sound and a commercial success, until 1988, when the group decided to disband. A third major period existed, from around 1992 to 1996, being Billy Currie, the only who remained in Ultravox since the beginnings, who oriented the band, but with new members and without any success. ….More

Bob Dylan ,
(born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, poet and painter who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan’s most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’”, became anthems of both the civil rights movements and of the opposition to the Vietnam War. Dylan’s last studio album, Together Through Life, was released on April 28, 2009. ….More
