La Llorona is the debut studio album by Canadian singer Lhasa de Sela, originally released in 1997.
Alejandro Sela, Lhasa's father, received his doctorate on literature of
the Spanish conquest of Mexico and taught her of the legend of La
Llorona.
This is the folktale of the crying woman, resembled the mythological
wife of Quetzalcoatl who has lost her children. For Lhasa, La Llorona
comes from the omen of conquerors. Lhasa believes that the woman cried
when the Spanish arrived in America to warn her native children of the
doom that the conquistadors would bring to their way of life.
