As a Grammy-nominated singer and touring band member with the legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen, Perla Batalla knew there was much of Cohen’s body of work she still wanted to perform and record. Cohen's passing in November 2016 reaffirmed Batalla’s mission of sharing the lesser-known songs of Canada's poet laureate to a younger public mostly familiar with the well-covered, “Hallelujah.” Perla Batalla in the House of Cohen features selected songs and rare personal anecdotes that serve to reveal the timelessness of Cohen's art through Perla Batalla’s signature cross-cultural style.
