Lila Downs

Thursday, May 05, 2022, 08:00pm

Lila Downs announces a headlining performance in Santa Barbara at The Arlington Theatre on May 5. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 11 at 10 AM via AXS.com

Winner of 6 Latin Grammys and one Grammy, celebrated singer Lila Downs is one of the most powerful and unique voices that exist today. With a symbolic stage presence and emotional storytelling through song, her singing transcends all language barriers.

Born and raised in both Oaxaca and Minnesota, Lila Downs is the daughter of a Mixtec Indigenous woman and Anglo-American father. She has written narratives of Indigenous resistance protecting the original vision of the sacred plants and food of her Oaxacan culture while keeping the traditions of the American continent. A passionate human rights activist, Lila Downs's lyrics often focus on stories ranging from social injustice to the suppressed Latin American stories of women of indigenous and working-class origins.

Lila Downs’s music embraces influences from the folkloric and ranchera music of Mexico to the music of the southern United States, crossing barriers and generating sounds that go from Folk, Jazz, Folkloric Blues, Indigena, and ranchera to Hip Hop.

Don’t miss your chance to see Lila Downs at The Arlington Theatre on May 5. The Arlington Theatre is located at 1317 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.
