Title:   LA SANDUNGA
By:  DOWNS, LILA
Description:
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.

Item Number:   NAR10265D
Release Date:  AVAILABLE 2001/07/03
Title:   BORDER (LA LINEA)
By:  DOWNS, LILA
Description:
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.
