Lila Downs special edition

"Singer, dancer and Mexican activist Lila Downs owes her renown as an extraordinary artist to her astonishing reinterpretation of traditional Mexican music, weaving in the roots of cumbia, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and rock, singing in Mixtec, Zapotec, Maya, Nahuatl, English and Spanish. She emerged on the Latin-American scene in the ’90s and rose to international success in 2001 thanks to the song La Línea and album Border. Winner of a Grammy and four Latin Grammy Awards, she has released 9 studio albums, including Pecados y Milagros in 2011 and her most recent, Balas y Chocolate, in 2015. As winner of the Antonio Carlos Jobim Award, Lila Downs follows in the footsteps of King Sunny Ade (2015), Paco de Lucía (2014), Amadou & Mariam (2013), Emir Kusturica (2012), Youssou N’Dour (2011), Richard Bona (2010), Toots & The Maytals (2009), Gilberto Gill (2008), Angélique Kidjo (2007), Salif Keita (2006), Khaled (2005) and Ibrahim Ferrer (2004)." http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/artists/2016-festival-awards.aspx
