Is there a nicer way to relax from the claustrophobic world of dissertating than to see a live concert of Lila Downs?! Her songs represent an eclectic mix of Mexican, Brazilian, Argentinian, and Cuban melodies. Her band is amazing which also represents talents from around the world—and her harpist is amazing!! I can’t wait for her new CD and the release of The Minimum Wage song–a beautifully political song about crossing the border to work for minimum wage. Below is one of my favorite songs of hers: La Cumbia del Mole. It is all about the wonderfulness of mole and Oaxaca. Now I miss Oaxaca even more.
