Lila Downs: Cambias mi Mundo

Lila Downs is a magnetic force in Mexican music. Her dusky, soulful voice shines in richly layered songs about yearning, identity, justice and folklore. Born in Oaxaca and raised between Mexico and Minnesota, Downs deftly weaves genres ranging from ranchera, cumbia and son to jazz, soul and American pop. These coalesce in live performances described as “irresistibly theatrical” by San Francisco Classical Voice, and “hugely entertaining” by The Guardian.
