When I first heard Lila on the 1999 release La Sandunga, I thought she was a Latinino girl. Shame on me. Just goes to show how we all have pigeon holes in our brains. She is a very cool Mexican. Check out the Wiki to start to understand. And of course her own website.

Her vocal range is just scary. Awesome.

This new release is just amazing in it’s global range of musical influences, with her voice pinning it all together. Love it.
Definitely the sort of album your girlfriend/partner/wife would hate you putting on when you get back late from a live gig when she missed getting there. Excellent.

A great live vid of her singing La Sandunga. (how the hell does she do those low and high notes, phew…)
