An international superstar, Lila Downs reflects both her Mexican heritage and American upbringing. Lila's folkloric style artfully combines elements of rancheras, cumbias, corridos, roots, and jazz to create a unique and beautiful hybrid. Since the early 1990s, Downs has released 11 CDs and blossomed into a world-renowned artist who regularly tours the U.S, Europe and South America.
Further, she received an Academy Award nomination for her contribution to the blockbuster film Frida, received a Latin Grammy for the album Una Sangre, and a Grammy nomination for 2008's Shake Away. Her most recent World Village recording, Lila Downs Y La Misteriosa En Paris, captures much of the excitement of her live performances, though the passion of this singular artist must be experienced in person.
