Past Polaris Prize winner Patrick Watson teamed up with the Montreal duo Esmerine to create this song for Lhasa de Sela who was a great Canadian artist. Lhasa died on January 1, 2010 at the age of 37 from breast cancer. Her death sent waves through the Montreal music community. The following song was a tribute to her. It is called Snow Day For Lhasa because after her death Watson said that it snowed for 4 days straight.
