Why, I kept asking myself, Manu Chao's Clandestino never appeared on this blog? Now I can say: "I was waiting for Lila Downs's fabulous cover version!" More properly called Clandestina (listen for its customised lyrics) appears on Lila's brand new album Al Chile.

...is Zapata se queda majestically performed by the Argentinian all-female vocal ensemble La Colmena who managed to do impossible: sing a Lila Downs' song almost better than Lila Downs!
(Lila Downs/Paul Cohen)
Son las tres de la mañana,
Dicen que pena un santito
Bajito yo oigo que dice:
“Camínale despacito, ay mamá
Camínale despacito”
Mi sueño me dice no vayas,
Mis piernas me dicen tantito,
Y cuando ya me doy cuenta, caramba,
Me muevo poco a poquito ay mamá,
Me muevo poco a poquito
Serás tu Zapata,
El que escucho aquí,
Con tu luz perpetua,
Que en tus ojos vi
En mi mente se oye,
Que me dice así,
Que en mi mente se oye,
Que me dice así
Por la sombra de la selva,
Se escuchó un disparo,
Y cayó un gallo negro,
Por la calle de milagros
Si tú dices que me quieres,
Con el todo a todo,
Y te vas tú conmigo,
Levantamos polvo
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Cuando sueño contigo,
Se dibuja el sereno,
Por todo mi camino
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Cuando sueño contigo,
No hay ni miedo ni duda
Sobre mi destino.

Finally! Following a few days of cyberspace riddles (Mi gente! Adivinen cómo se llama mi nueva canción! or ¿Ya saben cómo se llama mi nuevo sencillo?), Lila Downs has revealed the amazing new song, Peligrosa, from her forthcoming 10th studio album — to be released next month, woohoo!

Exactly three months ago, when Lila Downs posted this song on YouTube, I hesitated to add it to this blog. Frankly, I was hoping that within a month it won't be relevant any longer. But, alas, it is, very much. With Women's March on Washington and Sister Marches under way, I can't think of a better soundtrack for this day.

...is Mezcalito by this blog's (and my) favourite artist, Lila Downs. This song appears on her forthcoming album, Pecados y Milagros.
Pecados y Milagros tiene que ver musicalmente con una serie de canciones que he estado componiendo sobre el mezcal, sobre las mujeres que hacen tortillas, y sobre todo del maíz, inspirada por mi hijo, que es un maicito tierno.
I can't wait.

I can't think of any better performer to start this year with than my absolute favourite singer, Lila Downs. This week's song is Ojo de Culebra from her recent album, Shake Away/Ojo de Culebra, where she is joined by La Mari of Chambao. (To explain the double name: the album also features the English version of the same song, Shake Away.)

The nominees of Radio 3 Awards for World Music 2007 include many of my favourite musicians featured on this blog over the last two years: Ojos de Brujo, Yasmin Levy, Gotan Project, Ska Cubano... and, of course, Lila Downs, whose La Cantina is also nominated as an Album of the Year. So... this week's song is Agua de Rosas.
De una lluvia de cielo que muere en Juchitán Eres Vara de Romero Madre del deseo Que el río cantó Eres Suripanta del pueblo La mujer que más quiero Que me das de beber Agua de rosas Dame de beber Ah ah ah Ah ah ah Que esta tristeza Acabe de una vez Ah ah ah Ah ah ah |

Since nobody apart from me posts anything, I allow myself to introduce one more song by my favourite singer. This is Cumbia del Mole by Lila Downs, from her new album La Cantina. I hope you like it.
Last week, we went to see Lila Downs @ Barbican. Great, as expected, and more than expected!
