Lila Downs: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 янв 2017
- Felix Contreras | January 13, 2017 - Lila Downs has spent her career exploring the furthest reaches of Mexican folk music. With a voice that borrows heavily from opera, Downs performs the kind of full-throated mariachi singing that would fit right in at Mexico City's Garibaldi Square - ground zero for mariachi.
She can also coax the most tender moments from romantic boleros. But Downs is at her best when she and her band gather all of those influences to create cross-cultural expression that breaks down musical barriers. Entertaining and inspiring, she's as much a storyteller as a singer, and her between-song banter lays bare the Mexican soul, only to have it punctuated in song.

I travelled all the way to Mexico to see her perform live for Dias Del Los Muertos. Perfection ❤🦋🌼🥰!
*Día de muertos
I did too, two years ago to Oaxacs. She's amazing 👏
I don't understand Spanish but I've loved her ever since I discovered her in the movie Frida. I'm seeing her this Saturday, four rows from the stage. Very excited. I told my girlfriend that I got lawn tickets and binoculars, it'll be a nice surprise for her. I'm poor and happy right now.
How was the performance? I am debating on going in a few months to see her.
Amazing, she knows how to party and her vocals are breath taking. Let me know how you like the performance and where you see her.
She is a great singer , I like her music . and She is from Oaxaca just like me .
You should listen to Chavela Vargas, IMO she's was the best mexican singer, her performance of "La llorona" or "Simón Blanco", "Macorina" and "un mundo raro" are amazing :)
Amiel Solis thank you! Listening to her now 🙂 She’s amazing.
Lila Downs is making a lot of effort in trying to change the perspective the world have about Mexico and is doing it with the best she does, her music. I'm so proud to see a mexican that worries about our country and actually does something. I hope all of you can hear her music, all hers lyrics are powerful and full of poetry.
Thanks for sharing this. Saludos desde México.
she is not just mexican, she is also american. she's bi-cultural and bi-racial.
@@dayangtala Her mom was Mexican and Her father was Scottish American... She, Well she's just Amazing, Period.
@@OcelotlAlma13 That's exactly how Mexico was made: Spanish grandpas and Aztec grandmas.
@@dayangtala Mexicana y americana? en fin. Hay a quien le gusta acaparar. Podríamos decir de los Estados Unidos de .... México y el otro ... de los Estados Unidos de ¿? más arriba pero por debajo de Canadá.
The second song literally brought me to tears and made me shiver. This song needs to be featured on David Lynch’s next movie! Don’t know much about Lila Downs, but she can really sing and has so much soul, spirit, and mysticism! Wow!
Que la verdad no se calle, que la música sea el medio para que sepan todos lo que sufre el pueblo. Lila Down de la pocas cantantes que lleva en sus letras el dolor y el deseo de tener un mejor pueblo. El sentimiento del un canto. Queremos un México mejor, sin dolor y sin muertes que lamentar.
Grandísima Lila Downs...tuve l
a fortuna de verla hace ya casi 20 años aquí a este lado del Atlántico, cuánto disfruté aquel directo en el Teatro Palenque en Talavera. Grandes grupos en las tierras americanas desde Chile a Mexico se me ocurren tantos grandes (
los Bunkers, Amigos Invisibles, J. Venegas, Drexler, Silvio R., Aterciopelados, Puerto Candelaria, CafeTacuba.....en fin pura maravilla ) Salud y fuerza hermanos!
Yo soy peruana, pero mi corazón es cosmopolita y mi sangre más latinoamericana cuando vibra con la voz de mi querida Lila.
the vocals on that second track is supernatural. Is it crazy to say I hear Otis Redding coming through on that song? the slow music, those notes she's holding. maybe it's the fact she's singling straight from the soul.
Viva mi querido Oaxaca!!! fills me with joy to see our people being recognized
THIS is why I love tiny desk so much. Never heard of her and instantly mad for her music.... #vivalaraza #queviva
Next time Lila comes to your town, you make sure you go see/listen her live. It is a powerful, exiting and beautiful experience. She is one of a kind. Love you Lila!!
Her vocal range is beyond impressive. I went from wanting to get up and dance to heart ache with the transition of Humito De Copal to La Promesa.
She puts all that into a full concert. A master entertainer that makes you cry, dance and everything in between. I found her music by accident in 2010, been an avid fan since. If you have the chance, get to see her live.
I really very much enjoy all these amazing bands performing beautiful music from all over Latina America!! It is very nice to hear music in languages other than english. I would suggest if they could have subtitles, that would be a great addition! Thank you nontheless for these wonderful discoveries!!
"La Promesa" has me in tears every single time I hear it.
Primera vez que la escucho y como decimos acá en Venezuela: ¡Canta del carajo! ¡Que viva Mexico!
Acá en México significa todo lo contrario... Cómo sea, Lila canta chévere, bacano, chingón o simplemente bien. Saludos desde Puebla, México.
la musica cuando es buena puede ser de cualquier lugar ! muy buenos musicos
En México decir que alguien canta del carajo significa que canta horrible... Pero ya si lo explicas si se eniende :P
I'm really loving this, even though I can't understand it.
I was thinking the same thing! The 2nd song is incredibly soulful. Great music!
In the beginning she said: for all the journalists in the line of fire. The song is about knowing the truth of what is happening in the world.
I translated the lyrics upper comments
Her lyrics are really amazing as well, if you like her singing enough, I super suggest you look at a translated version of her lyrics...
I'll be happy to teach you!
OMG, I'm crying. Such a beautiful and powerful voice. Viva méxico!
When I watch Lila Downs perform my dad comes to mind, he always tells me "échale ganas!" And Lila le echa ganas, puts it all out there along with her music comes her heart. It's beautiful, she's amazing.
Lila is an amazing singer. l really admire how she is able to project her low voice so well, rather kind operatic. Her low earthy, Contralto really suits her folk style of her Native Mexico
Hay lila como te quiero!!! Desde Argentina se siente tu música.
I’ve been a fan of the beautiful Lila for twenty years . Such a proud Mexican , proud of her roots , so nice to see someone who is so proud , and shares her culture with the rest of us . Thank u Lila . Please come 2 London x
Her voice gives me chills.....makes me feel proud to be Mexican and wanting to spread her Wisdom through out a lost culture.
Gracias Lila por Todo.
Viva o México!! Viva a América do SUL!! Saludos do Brasil!!
Guilherme da silva leopoldina Salve. estou sempre à procura de brasileiros que conheçam Lila Downs. abraço

What an amazing talented woman and beautiful the way she sings with so much soul. 🇲🇽💚✌️
10:40 que voz tan impresionante!! grandes artistas. Saludos desde Colombia
She is a Goddess for us actually!!!...Lila Downs, tremendo orgullo mexicano, para quien comenta que sólo a los mexicanos que viven en el extranjero les gusta, qué comentario tan errado!!! se nota que nunca han ido a uno de sus conciertos aquí en México ni han visto las filas de fans que se hacen para poder convivir un momentito con ella, afortunadamente MUCHOS mexicanos la admiramos y nos encanta la manera en que transmite nuestra riquísima cultura en el mundo.
she's my favorite artist of all times!
I love her voice and her beautiful face 😍
great voice, beautiful woman, passionate
Impresionante la fuerza de la añoranza de los paisanos en el Gabacho, vista desde aquí, donde se hacen tortillas de maiz nixtamalizado y molotes. La madre tierra es la partera de todo, la tierra madrina es la que te hace regalitos y te ve de lejos, el terruño es el que te cuida siempre. Un abrazo grande Lila-Grande.
OMG what amazing singer!!! Absolutely gorgeous and what a magnificent and powerful voice.
IMPRESCINDIBLE Lila! #PatriaGrande! Desde Argentina.
Su música y voz es el Soundtrack de nuestra vida como Mexicanos ❤️
That was amazing!!!! Love Lila and all her wicked musicians! Very powerful lyrics too!
Lila Downs es maravillosa!! con mucha magia toma el folklor y lo transforma en algo nuevo, hermoso y único!
Eres grande Lila ❤️🇲🇽 no puedo dejar de escucharte, me transportas a mi México.
Sou muito fã dessa mexicana de voz potente, maravilhosa. Quisera vê-la se apresentando por aqui, no Brasil.
Lila Downs, hermosa voz, hermosa presencia
There are no walls when it comes to music.
Lau Va 🙏🙌💚
Amo a esta mujer… su carácter, compromiso y
sensibilidad...integrados a esa voz versátil e imponente…Belleza de ser humano!
Larga vida a esta diosa que nos trae leyendas, historias delas profundidades, memorias de sangre antigua. Larga vida Lila y una reverencia al arte de todos los músicos.
La verdadera riqueza de Oaxaca y Chiapas no es lo que marca los índices del gobierno que siempre nos deja como los más pobres de los estados de la República, es la gran diversidad cultural que nuestra sangre indígena y mestiza enriquese a México, y le da identidad propia, fruto de esto es está hermosa mujer LILA
Larga vida a todos los pueblos originarios de Mexico! Tienes razon, gracias a nuestros benditos indigenas Mexico es lo que es, ustedes los indigenas son los verdaderos dueños de Mexico, y algun dia se les hara justicia! Estoy segura de eso!
Con que orgullo la ven sus músicos en el minuto 10:38
OMG - muchas gracias for bringing Lila Downs! She is awesome! She is truly one of the greatest Mexican folk artists of all times! ¡Eso es todo, Lila!
Esta mujer es simplemente maravillosa y su voz tan bendecida, que bárbara! que bella!

I thoroughly enjoy & love Lila Downs - whatever she does!
