Description
Lila Downs is an artist who reflects through her music the most personal and deep side of the Mexican and Mixtec traditions. Her intense performances and provocative lyrics have captivated audiences around the world and made her a legend in her native Mexico. Transformed by the lyrics she sings, Downs penetrates the soul and the mind as she retells the often bittersweet stories of her ancestors and homeland. She is an artistic phenomenon to be experienced, a world music diva in the making.
Lila Downs may be seen and heard in the film FRIDA starring Salma Hayek. Lila plays a character and performs several songs. Visit the FRIDA website for soundclips of the soundtrack, which won an Academy Award for BEST ORIGINAL SCORE.
