Mexican-American singer Lila Downs marries traditional and contemporary sounds to create a new music that incorporates unique elements from two very different cultures. “Shake Away” features songs sung in both English and Spanish, guest artists Raul Midon, Mercedes Sosa and Enrique Bunbury, Ruben Ortega and La Mari de Chambao, Downs’ band La Misteriosa, and the powerful vocals of one of modern Mexico’s talented performers.
