Winner of six Latin Grammys and one Grammy, Lila Downs has a symbolic stage presence and emotional storytelling through song, her singing transcends all language barriers. As the daughter of a Mixtec Indigenous woman and Anglo-American father, she has written narratives of Indigenous resistance protecting the original vision of the sacred plants and food of her Oaxacan culture while keeping the traditions of the American continent. Lila Downs’s music embraces influences from the folkloric and ranchera music of Mexico to the music of the southern United States, crossing barriers and generating sounds that go from Folk, Jazz, Folkloric Blues, Indigena, and ranchera to Hip Hop.
All ticket prices include a $1 historical preservation fee.
