She is the daughter of a Mixtec Indigenous woman and Anglo-American father, and has written narratives of Indigenous resistance protecting the original vision of the sacred plants and food of her Oaxacan culture while keeping with traditions of the American continent.

Lila Downs’s music embraces influences from the folkloric and ranchera music of Mexico, while crossing barriers and generating sounds that go from Folk, Jazz, Folkloric Blues, Indigena, and Hip Hop.
