BORDER (LA LINEA) (AVAILABLE NOW)
by:
LILA DOWNS
Billboard calls her "one of the most spellbinding voices to grace the world music scene" and the LA Times extols her "exotic beauty and starling voice," seeing her as a "reflection of a 21st century world culture where ethnicity and national boundaries blur." This album definitely forges a bridge between cultures and time. It's a collection of stirring songs inspired by life at the border, the plight of the migrant workers and the hardships endured by indigenous peoples. She infuses jazz, gospel and hip-hop styles with traditional cumbias, creating powerful music in any language.
