Lila Downs Performs an Evening of Eclectic Mexican Music
When: Wednesday, May 7, 2008, 8 p.m.
Where: UCSB Campbell Hall, 574 Mesa Rd., Santa Barbara
Cost: $19 - $42
Age limit: Not available
Categories: Latin music
Description: The Latin Grammy-winner seductively layers the strong undercurrent of emotion behind blues and jazz with honky-tonk swing and romantic boleros. With smoldering passion and “earth and fire vocals” (The Seattle Times), Downs’ affecting songs burrow deep into the heart and mind, invoking lost loves, legends and struggles to live. Billboard Magazine raves, “Downs is smart, subversive, sexy and soulful;” while The New York Times asserts, “There are many tones in the Mexican jukebox, and many of the best resound from Ms. Downs, a mezzo-soprano with a three-octave range, a hungry mind and an arresting stage presence.”
