Album Description
Exploring and expressing Mexico's rich culture has been a lifelong passion for vocalist Lila Downs. With a voice that is varied in color and range, Lila cuts a striking figure live as well - she embodies the spirit of her music with an emotion-drenched physicality. Lila's profile was raised significantly with her stunning performance in the hit film Frida, starring Salma Hayek in the title role. Lila also performed the Oscar-nominated song from the film at the Academy Awards ceremony, becoming the first Latina to perform at the telecast. Her new album Shake Away evokes her home country's rich folk-music legacy while pulsing with modern arrangements.

 GREAT!!! December 22, 2008
I love her creativity, here is a good mix on english and spanish... the duets are amazing (Enrique Bunbury, the lead singer from Cafe Tacuba, Mercedes Sosa, etc)... This woman is pure talent! The best buy I've made this 2008.
 BRAVO LILA!! December 16, 2008
Otra vez un c.d. increible. Lila Downs sigue con su estilo eclectico y encantando. Mi unica critica es que prefiero su canciones en espanol y este c.d. tiene mas de normal en ingles. Este es un detaille pequeno. No puedo vivir sin su musica en cualquier forma. Lo recomendo a todos.
Thanks for the great concert you gave us last night!!! December 5, 2008
Lila Downs is one of the greatest artist on earth. Please never doubt about it. A true artist, a really great singer!!!
Exellent record
 My least favorite of all her albums November 27, 2008

I get chills when Downs re-interprets classic Mexican styles. Her voice is a wonder and I'll still be on board for her next disc. A lot of the songs here are inspired by something other than old Mother Mexico. that's fine and she shouldn't be put in a box but I'm not as interested in her take on New Orleans or rock music. Maybe you'll like it more than I did.

Lila Downs pulls out the stops on this record and covers a wide range of styles - but with superb skill and results! She even looks different on the cover photos from her earlier recordings. This woman is "Shakin'".
