Lila Downs

Lila Downs is a solo artist associated with Mexico whose catalog here spans 2006–2008. The artist is connected with Latin, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Latin shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Hanal Weech”, “Shake Away”, “Tierra de luz”. Then move to “Ojo de culebra” and “Putumayo Kids Presents: Latin Playground” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
