   About Lila Downs
I was born de Mixteca mother and Scottish leftist Father... I had to find my voice ...am still looking... grew up in Tlaxiaco Oaxaca, in the mountains and Minneapolis, Minnesota... Ran into Paul in Candela! a hippie hangout and started sharing songs and dreams with him...still looking to find peace within and love on the journey.... Creci en la Mixteca de Oaxaca y en Minnesota ...Mi madre una mujer indigena y mi padre un Norteamericano izquierdista... sigo buscando mi voz... Me topé con Paul en Candela alla en Oax y juntos vamos compartiendo sueños y música... Sigo buscando una paz interna y el amor en este camino de la vida...

Hola hermosa Lila y un caluroso saludo a toda l Misteriosa.
Ya lei que vienes a México para septiembre, espero poder verte ahi y ojala muy pronto vengas a la gran ciudad de México, me quede con muchas ganas de verte desde aquella ocacion en el festival de los nuevos vientos en Ehecatltepec y que todo se pospuso por eso de la contingencia, ojala des un pequeño espacio en tu apretada agenda para venir a visitarnos de nuevo en la gran Tenochtitlan y ojala pueda leerte de nuevo. cuidate mucho, te mando besos y abrasos y que la buena vibra te acompañe, en este camino andamos

hola lila eres la onda!!!!

saludos.♥


....Con garras y colmillos,
alegre cabalgo,
ríendome de los pardillos
y de su hartazgo.

No se salva ni uno.
Ni ambicioso,
ni inoportuno,
ni tan sólo ovejuno.

Mi rugido, a la cobardía
infunde pavor
antes de que acabe el día,
por más que pretenda mor.

¡Cabalga airosa, Leona
y a tener cojones enseña
a quien en blanda lana
enterró su enseña!....
