Lila Downs

LRGP is honored to be a community partner with the Mondavi Center to celebrate Día de los Muertos. Featured in their lobby will be a traditional ofrenda created by RCAF member and culture bearer, Lupe Portillo. Lila Downs is one of Latin America’s most influential voices.Rooted in Oaxaca and shaped between Mexico and the United States, she weaves Mexican tradition with jazz, cumbia, folk, and contemporary rhythms. Her music is both celebration and purpose, turning each concert into a gathering where culture is honored, stories are reclaimed, and audiences are invited to feel, dance, and remember. Lila's 2026 album, Cambias mi Mundo (You Change My World), marks a return to her artistic essence, rooted in a deep commitment to global causes and shaped by passion, intimacy, and celebration. It is her first recording composed mostly of original songs.
