World Music: Lila Downs, "Justicia"
(Mexico) The versatile diva Lila Downs here brings us a song that is part aria, part rap, part passion and poetry. She starts off in supersonic mode singing two octaves above the melody line, then launches into spoken word intro before settling in the stirring "Justicia" dedicated to all the countries in Latin America that have endured tyranny and exploitation for centuries. The performance is from a concert in Paris, at the FIP studios. Downs sings that injustice has occurred, but she does not want to sing of pain, only of hope.
