Azam Ali- Lasse Pour Quoi video

Song: "Lasse Pour Quoi" Artist: Azam Ali Album: Portals of Grace Year: 2002 From the liner notes: Of the countless 12th and 13th century Trobairitz (female poet- musicians) who graces the magnificent courts of medievel Europe, we know only the names of a mere handful, which is why the source of so many of the poems and melodies such as this one remains a mystery. The language of the troubadours, know as Old Provençal, was the language spoken in the southern half of present day France. The poems of the Trobairitz mostly portray the joys or sorrows of a woman in love. Here, a woman sings of her regret for refusing the one whom she loves.
