Lila Downs in NYC


I'm glad I got to see Lila Downs and her fantastic band perform @ the World Trade Plaza last night (7/20/04). She was incredible as usual. Her voice was like butta and filled the night air.

This was the second time I got to see her perform live and each time she blew me away. She sang some great songs from her new album Una Sangre/One Blood. Of course she also sang the popular tunes from her last album La Linea/Border, like Hanal Weech and Pastures of Plenty--about the migrant workers who grow our produce. Unfortunately, she didn't sing
La Llorona for her encore, but the course was still satiated with her rousing performance.
Such are some of the few free perks that NYC has to offer in the summer outdoors.
