 Sublime Lila Nov 13, 2009
Balanced, sublime, diverse, ethereal, inspiring, magical...What more can I say about the album? She could be one of the greatest living latin ethno-music performers!
BUY! LISTEN! SEE! Mar 23, 2009
BUY! LISTEN! SEE her Live whenever possible! You will NOT be disappointed! On 3/20/09 From my orchestra, third row seat, first experienced Ms. Downs in her NYC Carnegie Hall performance. She & the Band shattered my level of expectation! I own all of her CD's including the not yet US available import. As a jaded & critical New Yorker had intended to just enjoy her fabulous voice "LIVE". Whaaat! a surprise! She opened with, her sensual renditiion of "Black Magic Woman", followed by choices from her various CD's. She sang in Spanish & English with a well balanced mixture of jazz, Latin dance-able, & traditional pieces. They performed for (2) two hours without intermission.Had seen Ms. Downs on the telly with brief interviews & "a" live performance from the import DVD in Madrid. "NO" COMPARISON! to anything that I had seen earlier! Nothing that I had seen does Ms. Downs & the Band justice. Her voice is beautiful, pure & genuine without the need of any enhancement. My Spanish @ best is wobbly... but adequate enough to communicate. Her diction in both languages is flawless, filled with whatever emotion the text mandates. I must confess.... am NOT a NY'ker that is interested in meeting performers, let alone asking for an autograph. But I was so moved by her & the Band's performance..... that I asked Mr. Cohen if I could ask to have their autograph. To my surprise & delight, Ms. Downs & Mr. Cohen were BEYOND gracious! My immediate question was, "WHEN? will you be in NYC again? Tis' lovely to see & meet "TALENTED" amazing artists that can also be generous & courteous with this "pest/fan" Looking forward for more music & concerts.

 Not horrible, not great. Mar 10, 2009
I don't know why, but most of the times I hear her sing in English, it just loses something for me. I like her best with her cumbias, and more traditional Mexican and Latin American sounds, but this album only had 2 good songs on it for me, which is why it only deserves 2 stars.
No sé porqué, pero casi todas las veces la he escuchado cantar en inglés, pierde algo. Me gusta más cuando canta cumbias y canciones típicas de México y latinoamérica. Pero este disco sólo tiene 2 canciones buenas, entonces sólo merece 2 estrellas.
GREAT!!! Dec 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!! Dec 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.
