I love this woman's music so much. As a preschool teacher, I first discovered her as I was playing a children's song,Hanal Weech. That was 8 years ago, been a fan ever since. I stand in the gap with You Lila!
@@racerx1189 : She was actually born in Mexico to an indigenous Mexican woman and an American father. She has lived here in the United States, but resides in Mexico.
Lila, you are so graceful and wise the way you respond to politically loaded questions with answers about love, understanding, and togetherness. As time goes on, you become more beautiful to me with a light that shines from within. Tambien, your music inspires and moves me as much if not more than the music of the greatest singers and writers ever.
she is fantastic! Sing in different languages and native languages. Her voice is huge. I saw her in concert here in Uruguay. Greetings DM! ella es fantastica! Canta en diferentes idiomas y lenguas nativas. Su voz es enorme. La vi en concierto aqui en Uruguay. saludos DM!
She's amazing, the perfect representation of what it means to be Mexican, its diverse essence as a people. Long live Oaxaca and Lila Downs, she represents Mexico in a very proud and talented way.
2:50 Amy asked her to translate on the fly, but is kinda difficult. Here's what the song says Solo voy con mi pena = Alone I go with my sorrow Sola va mi condena = Alone goes my damnation Correr es mi destino = I am destined to run (or "to run is my fate") Por no llevar papel = Because I carry no papers
corduroy99 I wanted to translate all of Lila's songs, but couldn't understand each word (audio issues), so thank you for translating one of the most important parts. "Campesino" made me tear up a bit, but that's the deep reach of the beauty and majesty of music, and why it's the universal language. Lila's rendition of Nora Jones song reminded me of Linda Ronstadt's songs on "Canciones de Mi Padre," and how beautiful it is. CD came with translations. (Miss my lost CD; prefer to streaming devices.) Thanks again and God bless.
@@GladysAlicea Hi Gladys, you are very welcome. But the song is not hers, it is Manu Chao's. The song is called Clandestino. Lila does it more cumbia, Manu's version is more of a lullaby check it out. ua-cam.com/video/I0PjuPu78rQ/v-deo.html
Que talented cantante mexicana, su sensibilidad social es muy hermosa, aparte de su hermosa voz , toda ella irradia arte, los felicito a ustedes los mexicanos, tener una representante de un nivel mundial.
De las mejores voces que tenemos en México, orgullosamente del estado de Oaxaca. Me llena de mucho orgullo que salga a otras partes del mundo a dar a conocer su talento. Te amo Lila Downs.
Thank you for this Amy! I've always dug your taste in music, but more importantly, the musicians you put on that have something to say. I saw Lila Downs here back in 2010 (or earlier) and later opened for her at The Bakersfield Jazz Festival. Found that an old colleague was singing backup for her and it felt like a small world. Now Lila is singing about "clandestinos" aka 'illegals' and the subject cannot hit home more. I've always has a soft spot in my heart for undocumented immigrants, growing up among so many in Central California, but while I try to emigrate to UK in the midst of the Brexit era, this song has never felt more poignant Please keep on keeping on Amy. You're one of the best and we need you now more than ever!
Wonderful episode. I could imagine Lila singing on The DC Mall, but not in this @WhiteHouse; aside from obvious issues, the only Spanish word @VP knows is "hola." Her words negating constant self-involvement in world politics struck a personal chord, as I'm mostly confined to bed and became Trump- and world-consumed since he went down that escalator. Thank you for the wise words, Lila. God bless.
¡Vaya, ahora sí Lila tuvo la gentileza de presentar a los maestros, músicos, que la acompañan! Bien Lila por. Te valgo como disculpa por tu pasada presentación en la casa de la Democracy Now y la notable Amy. -Wow, now Lila had the courtesy to present the masters, musicians, who accompany her! Fine Lila by. I'll give you an apology for your last presentation, that you did not mention your companions, in the house of Democracy Now and the remarkable Amy.

Aaron Rosano You can also say Speaking with Truth...Like Lila says it has a sexual connotation but mainly to me is that speaking with truth, no sugar added, straight....

America gains so much by inviting the love and art from around the world! So happy to experience this artist. Thank you DN.
She's from Minnesota but you're right. All the world can celebrate and enjoy this great artist. ✌️

I met Lila years ago at a small show in California. She was so sweet and thankful, after the show she greeted everyone with hugs and handshakes.

I’m mixed and my Spanish is poor but that isn’t stopping me from appreciating her music and messages. She is an amazing woman!
