Known for her unique synthesis of Latin American folk, jazz fusion, and South American rhythms, GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY winner Lila Downs is an internationally acclaimed singer and songwriter from Oaxaca, Mexico, whose compelling stage presence and poignant storytelling transcend all language barriers. Downs returns to La Jolla Music Society to kick-off your Cinco de Mayo celebrations at the Balboa Theatre.
