Her appeal is worldwide these days. Here is a brief bio on her that will explain her worldwide appeal.
She and her husband / longtime collaborator, Paul Cohen, have produced 10 studio albums, with "Pecados y Milagros" having earned both a Grammy and
a Latin Grammy award, and achieving double-platinum in sales in Mexico. She received her first Latin Grammy for the 2004 release, “Una Sangre.” Her
current project, “RAÍZ," is a collaboration with Argentinian singer Soledad Pastorutti and Spanish flamenco singer La Niña Pastori. This album has
garnered two 2014 Latin Grammy nominations for "Album of the Year" and "Best Folk Album."
Lila Downs has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Festival
of Sacred Music - Hollywood Bowl. She has been invited to sing at the White House, and performed on the 75th Annual Academy Awards and the 2012 Latin
Grammy Awards televised ceremonies.
Her music has also been included in several feature films such as “The Counselor”, “Tortilla Soup,” “Real Women Have Curves,” “The Three Burials of
Melquiades Estrada,” Carlos Saura's “Fados,” “Mariachi Gringo” and “Hecho en Mexico”.
My first introduction to her was the above mentioned film "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada", a very fine film.
