Soraya Stories

Director Selects: Discover the evolution of Lila Downs

By Thor Steingraber

Grace, wisdom, creativity, and deeply held values. These are some of the characteristics that make Lila Downs such an extraordinary artist. She embodies the vibrance of multiple cultures, and her music transcends borders. We are proud to have her back at The Soraya for the third time, on Oct. 24.

So much in the world has changed since her last visit here two years ago. In this video interview, she talks about the changing times, the value of music, and the explosion of interest and popularity surrounding Día de Muertos since she first began her concerts two decades ago.

Gratefully,

Thor Steingraber Signature
