The Indian Mexican/American sings of the strength of women, the issue of identity, death and the cycle of life and as she sings she takes on the characters of those people to get their message across in a mesmerizing performance. “I guess what people are sensing is that I truly hope to be a kind of conduit, one other musical being that is delivering a message that has something to do with the past and the present as well,” said Downs, from the Sierra Madre Mountains of her native Mexican state of Oaxaca. “I kind of lose myself. When I perform it’s very important to me to be completely honest with the spirit of the song. For some people who don’t analyse me they’re swept away by their feelings and are crying and are very happy about what they’re feeling from the music.” ऋᆨ Feature 15 The issue of identity pervades her lyrics, sung in Spanish and the Mexican Indian languages of Mixtec and Zapotec.

  • Singer-Songwriter Lila Downs Joins the Chicago Symphony Orchestra June 28 for an Evening of Music Including Selections from Her Latest Release Balas Y Chocolate
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: March XX, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312.294.3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] SINGER-SONGWRITER LILA DOWNS JOINS THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA JUNE 28 FOR AN EVENING OF MUSIC INCLUDING SELECTIONS FROM HER LATEST RELEASE BALAS Y CHOCOLATE Tickets on Sale Tuesday, March 8 CHICAGO – The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is pleased to announce the addition of a Special Concert for the 2015/2016 season. Singer-songwriter and multi-Grammy® Award-winning artist, Lila Downs, performs with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) led by guest conductor Donato Cabrera, on Tuesday, June 28 at 7:30 p.m. The program features Downs performing with the CSO in selections from her 2015 release Balas y Chocolate (Bullets and Chocolate) as well as traditional selections chosen by Downs. Born in Oaxaca, Mexico to a Mixtec Indian mother and a British-American father, Downs’ music reflects a childhood which straddled Mexican and North American cultures. Her style embraces traditional folk music from the U.S. and Mexico while also fusing jazz, blues, hip-hop, cumbia, and even klezmer influences. With lyrics in English, Spanish, Portuguese and indigenous Mexican languages, she sings of social justice, the search for cultural roots and the lives of Mexican migrant workers in the United States. Beginning with her 1994 debut album, Ofrenda, Downs has released 12 studio albums garnering multiple Grammy® nominations and ultimately earning both a Grammy® and a Latin Grammy® for her 2011 release, Pecados y Milagros. She has been invited to sing at the White House, the 75th Annual Academy Awards®, the 2012 Latin Grammy® Awards, and has performed at music festivals around the world and at prestigious venues including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and the San Francisco Symphony’s Davies Hall.

Composed for the flutist Alejandro Escuer, the work features solo piccolo and flute lines that scamper over recorded winds and electronics like lone human voices trying to be heard above the chatter.Introducing the work before a performance on Tuesday evening in an intimate room at the Americas Society, Mr. Pérez Santiago said he thought the ubiquity of social media has made it harder for people to communicate effectively in person. The visceral piece was included on a program called “Flying,” performed by Mr. Escuer and Mr. Pérez Santiago (on laptop) as part of the Celebrate Mexico Now festival and Carnegie Hall’s Voices From Latin America festival, which offers multidisciplinary events in myriad cultural institutions in New York.
