Rebekah del Río, the singer and composer known for taking her talents to the classic of David Lynch “Mulholland Drive”, has died.
The Los Angeles County Forensic doctor confirmed that Del Rio died at home, but did not reveal a main cause of death, which is currently online as deferred. She was 57 years old.
In the 2001 Thriller of Lynch, of the River was the Silence Club siren and was presented as “The Los Angeles Llorona.” In front of a red velvet curtain with stained rímel and a crystal tear on his cheek, Del Rio delivered an performance of “crying” cappella, a Spanish shot of “Crying” by Roy Orbison. His voice resonates in the place, bringing tears to the characters portrayed by the stars Naomi Watts and Laura Harring. The appearance of Del Rio ends suddenly when it collapses and is taken out of the stage.
Del Rio was one of the few musical acts that collaborated with Lynch. The visionary director died in January. He also worked with the composer of “Twin Peaks” Angelo Badalamenti, and singers Julee Cruise and Chrystabell. The last one, which starred Lynch on “Twin Peaks: The Return”, paid tribute to Del Rio on social networks.
“The beauty and amazing power of your voice could actually leave my breath. Your spirit knows the deepest peace, that your heart rests,” Chrystabell subtitled a cameo from Del del Río “Mulholland Drive”. “Thank you for the kindness and care that you showed me, it is written in my heart.”
In addition to “Mulholland Drive”, Del Rio appeared on “Twin Peaks: The Return” by Lynch as a musical guest and interpreted her rock ballad rever “No Stars.” Their screen loans also include films “This Maestre”, “2307: Winter's Dream”, “Southland Tales” and “Rabbits”, according to IMDB.
Before working with Lynch, Del Rio gained popularity in the Netherlands in the mid -1990s for the main song of his “No Nobe's Angel” debut album. Nashville moved briefly to bring his musical career to the next level, he signed with the giant discs, but a car accident stood in those ambitions.
“A man crashed into me and basically stole my chance, and I saw dying of my own dream,” he remembered The Guardian in a 2022 interview.
He continued to chase music, counting Il Divo, the producer Heather Holley and the composer Danny Elfman among his collaborators. His discography includes his 2011 album “Love Hurts Love Heals”, a version of “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen and his simple “goodbye” of 2021. Weeks before his death, Del Rio acted in a charity event for the Philosophical Research Society.
Del Rio is preceded in death by his son Phillip, who died of cancer in 2009.
