“Her voice transcends language, carrying pure emotion.”
– Los Angeles Times
Celebrate Día de Muertos with internationally acclaimed, GRAMMY®- and Latin GRAMMY®–winning Mexican American artist Lila Downs in an unforgettable live performance.
Lila Downs, one of Latin America’s most influential voices with a singular sound and magnetic stage presence, is bringing a powerful live performance that seamlessly blends the essence of her 2026 album, Cambias mi Mundo (You Change My World) with the rich traditions of Día de Muertos. Rooted in Oaxaca and celebrated on prestigious global stages like Carnegie Hall, Downs turns this show into an intimate, fearless, and deeply human gathering. Audiences will experience a voyage of emotions, movement, and sound where her most acoustic and intimate original songs from Cambias mi Mundo meet deeply personal renditions of classic rancheras. Through this unique musical fusion, the concert invites the audience to dance, feel, and honor the sacred tradition of remembering the departed on both sides of the border.
Come dressed in imaginative Día de Muertos attire to share in the celebration!
