¡Las festividades bicentenarias continuadas!


--- EL CONCIERTO DE LILA DOWNS
So a few days after the bicentennial in Puebla, the city hosted a concert series to also help mark the bicentenario of Mexico's independence. Some of my friends and I had heard about Lila Downs in different ways, but all agreed that she's cool stuff so we decided to descend upon the zócalo once again to this Mexican cantante in action.

Lila Downs actually has a real cool story; she was born and raised in the United States but then went to Mexico as a singer. She primarily sings in Spanish, but also sings in English and Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecas and a few million still speak the language here in Mexico nowadays.

The show was a lot more packed than I had anticipated and I had to settle for standing in the mass of people off to the side of the seats.

She performed and awesome show and everyone was happy that they went. :D You should google her or something...

MY NEXT POST IS ABOUT MEXICO CITY... HOLLER.
