Lila reflects through her art the most personal and deep side of the Mexican and Mixtec traditions. Her intense performances, provocative voice, and bold lyrics have made her a phenomenon wherever she performs and a superstar in her native Mexico. Forging a bridge between culture and time, this 2001 release presents a collection of stirring songs inspired by border life, the plight of migrant workers, and the hardships endured by indigenous peoples. Accompanied by pre-Colombian and Mexican folk instruments, she infuses jazz, gospel and hip-hop influences into traditional cumbias, creating powerful music in any language.
