LA SANDUNGA (AVAILABLE NOW)
by:
LILA DOWNS
Born in southern Mexico to a Mixtec Indian mother and an American father, Lila Downs studied music and anthropology in Minnesota and Oaxaca and came to reconcile her heritage through music. This release is her extraordinary debut album, first released in 1997. Featuring interpretations of Oaxacan traditional songs as well as her own compositions, this first expression of her very original vision evokes a rich past while at the same time ushering a vibrant new contemporary voice onto the world stage.
