"It’s easy to hear the new Lila Downs album, “Pecados y Milagros” (Sony Mexico), as sleek modern Mexican pop with a thrilling, chameleonic voice at its center: one that can go for playfulness, operatic bravura or tearful, heart-on-sleeve melodrama." Read the full review from the NY Times here and let us know what you think.

There is a wonderful soundtrack of the documentary film Wretches and Jabberers that was released this week. The film is an illuminating portrait of two men on a journey to change the face of autism, and explores how they develop personal relationships through communication.
I had the opportunity to record a very beautiful song by J. Ralph and Hugh Stockton called Entenderse. There is an amazing list of 20 artists who participated, including Devendra Banhart, Steven Stills, Norah Jones, Ben Harper.
Here’s a link to the soundtrack on iTunes and to the films official website.

Daniel Pearl World Music Days was created in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Danny’s family and friends came together to work towards a more humane world, forming the Daniel Pearl Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to promote cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music, and innovative communications.
Danny was a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community in which he lived, leaving behind a long trail of musician-friends spanning the entire world. Commemorating Danny’s October 10th birthday, World Music Days uses the universal language of music to encourage fellowship across cultures and build a platform for “Harmony for Humanity.”
The following October performances will be dedicated to Daniel Pearl as part of the 8th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days.

Dear Amigos,
We have been waiting for this moment for a few years now, and a little boy called Benito Dxuladi has come into our lives and made us very happy and blessed! We are watching the miracle of life and are so grateful to everyone who has sent us words of support and encouragement over the years about being parents.
Thank you all with all my heart.

The first stage of the 2010 tour for Lila and band started on March 5 with the concert at Millennia Festival in Barcelona, Spain, and continued with concerts in several cities of that country: Valencia, Malaga, Cordoba, Madrid, Bilbao, among others. On March 19 Lila performed in Papantla, Veracruz at the Cumbre Tajin Festival, sharing the stage with the Voces Totonacas and Julieta Venegas. Then on March 21st, she participated in the Segundo Festival Estatal de las Artes y Culturas Indigenas in the city of Puebla, and ended their stay in Mexico with the opening of Zacatecas Cultural Festival on March 27 at the Plaza de Armas, where she share the stage with Concha Buika (Spain).
She is currently in Argentina, for concerts in Rosario, Cordoba, and Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires a second show has been added at the Gran Rex due to high interest. From April to June Lila will be appearing in throughout the United States and in Turkey, Hungary, France, Germany, Switzerland and Norway. At the same time they are working on the arrangements for what will be their seventh studio album, which will be an independent production and will include a vast repertoire of “Revisited” traditional rancheras. This production will be ready for autumn this year, they indicated.
For now, Downs has announced the release of their first live CD “LILA DOWNS Y LA MISTERIOSA EN PARIS – Live at FIP”, recorded in May 2009 in Studio 105, Radio France, Paris.The CD has been released by Harmonia Mundi / World Village Music and is already available in Spain, and will be available to the rest of Europe and the United States in April. Release dates and availability in other countries will be announced shortly, but are available for advance purchase at Lila’s Blue Collar Store right now and will be shipped the week of the release.
Lila is also working on the musical compositions for a stage adaptation of the novel “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel. This is being produced by the Public Theater of New York City, and we have hopes that eventually this will be a touring production in which Lila may also have the lead role.
