“Few alternative artists have the dynamic power and range of this bilingual warrior-woman.” NPR

“The Mexican American singer has a stunning voice [and] a confident multicultural vision grounded in her Mixtec Indian roots.” Los Angeles Times

Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winning icon Lila Downs brings her powerful voice and magnetic stage presence to a vibrant celebration of Día de Muertos. Raised in Minnesota and Oaxaca, Downs blends traditional Mexican and Mesoamerican music with folk, jazz, blues and originals in a deeply personal interpretation of Día de Muertos. This festive evening will also feature mariachis and dancers, evoking the rich spirit and color of Day of the Dead on both sides of the border.
