Lila Downs - Dia De Los Muertos
Lila Downs, the Mexican-American vocalist, returns to Costa Mesa with a performance that will showcase her distinctive Latin-infused music.
Boasting six Latin Grammys and a Grammy Award, Downs stands as one of today's most influential and extraordinary vocalists. Her music mirrors the tapestry of Oaxaca, Mexico, and her American upbringing, weaving together Spanish and English lyrics, often interwoven with indigenous Mixtec, Zapotec, and Maya elements. With a commanding stage presence and emotive narratives woven into her songs, her vocals transcend language barriers.
Lila Downs embodies a unique heritage as the offspring of a Mixtec Indigenous mother and an Anglo-American father. Her compositions narrate tales of Indigenous resilience, safeguarding the innate essence of the revered plants and cuisine of Oaxaca's culture while upholding the legacies of the American continent.
