Mexican American singer and activist Lila Downs has earned her multiple GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Awards. A commanding presence at center stage, Downs, “no stranger to raising hell and consciousness through the power of song” (Rolling Stone), with her superhuman vocal range and a deeply empathetic spirit, she champions the causes of immigrants, women and indigenous groups in her genre-hopping compositions, pain, suffering and redemption, through the metaphor of Mexico’s ubiquitous chili pepper.
