Lila Downs Live at Balboa Theatre

The Latin Grammy Winning Artist Lila Downs to Perform Live at Balboa Theatre, San Diego on February 26th, Showcasing Her Just U.S. Released New Album Pecados y Milagros/Sins and Miracles Presented by WillPower Entertainment

San Diego, CA. – WillPower Entertainment is thrilled to present Lila Downs in concert on February 26th , 2012, to be held at the Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego.


The smoky voiced Lila Downs knows no boundaries between life and art. Her new album, Pecados y Milagros/Sins and Miracles, is the culmination of a journey intricately tied to her sense of purpose as a human being and an artist. As she embarks on a newly forged relationship with the Sony Music MÈxico imprint, the new disc finds her once again unrestrained by borders, the Mexican-American singer/songwriter drawing inspiration from her new role as a mother – what she refers to as a “miracle”— and reflecting on the meaning of “sin” in today’s complex modern world. Downs recasts the grand narratives of religion in light of contemporary issues while adding a visual component to the music by commissioning a series of Mexican devotional paintings that are thematically connected to each song. Each track on the CD is matched by a new retablo that explores an aspect of the CD’s intensely personal themes. The Latin Grammy-winning artist’s indomitable spirit is the common thread that seamlessly ties it all together to create a singular, multimedia work of art that transcends categorization.

“We are so very excited to bring an artist of Lila’s talent, creativity, intelligence, passion and beauty to Balboa,” says Bob Vogt President of WillPower Entertainment. Her performance in November at Carnegie Hall is still the talk of New York and this show is going to be a spectacular one.” Lila just had her U.S. release of her new album on January 31st,, which I consider to be a phenomenal composition of work. It’s perfect timing to be able give the people of San Diego and surrounding areas such a magnificent musical gift.”
