Mexican-American Singer-Songwriter LILA DOWNS Showcases Newest Songs in Day of the Dead Concert at Segerstrom Center for the Arts

Date:

 

October 25, 2015 in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall; tickets on sale now

Grammy® Award-winning Mexican-American music star Lila Downs, who fuses popular music genres and indigenous Mexican music, celebrates Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) at Segerstrom Center for the Arts on October 25, 2015.

Downs will showcase some of her newest songs from Balas y Chocolate (Bullets & Chocolate) that was released on March 24, 2015.

The recording features Colombian musician Juanes, a three-time Latin Grammy Award-winner. Downs explains that “[Balas y Chocolate] was inspired by both the Day of the Dead offering and celebration and also from my personal dance with my partner’s possible death.”

She has a “stunning voice, a confident multicultural vision grounded in her Mixtec Indian roots,” says Los Angeles Times.

Indeed, her impressive vocal range is as much a musical delight as a platform for her concerns for social justice in Mexico.
