I’m still unsure of my feelings toward David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive but Rebekah Del Río singing Llorando has not left me since I watched it some years ago.
Last night at the Edwardian Ball [which was the best time I've had at an event in eons] to my awe, a woman with blue light spilling out from behind her performed this piece a capella to the full-to-capacity Tower theater. I didn’t catch her name and can’t seem to find anything online. Anyone?
Edit: I’m being told by one source that it was actually Rebekah Del Rio herself. Confirmation needed.
Under the jump the original version of the song, by Roy Orbison.
Always,

She was. They announced her as such.
I had a band some years ago that was called No Hay Banda in a homage to this very scene. I love this film.
The terminally bad Southland Tales has her doing an incredible version of the Star Spangled Banner. It’s on youtube as well.
