Photos: Lila Downs at City Winery

Saw her on Saturday. Loved her, as always. But did anyone else think it was an odd venue for her? When she shouted out “Para la gente de Puebla”, someone in the audience shouted “and Westchester!”

one of the best performances i have (ever) experienced. she grabbed my insides and held me with her from the moment she stepped on stage to the moment she walked off. to truly experience lila downs one must see her in action –cds, recordings and youtube are piecemeal to the shared intimacy of her live performances. inolvidable!
