The Latin American culture has an extraordinary variety and richness. You do not need to incorporate elements to communicate feelings and emotions. Snobbery and novelry led to a continued importation of American cultural components, often English-speaking ("gringos"), which may also have great artistic value but should not replace ours as they frequently do.
The one who best expresses these truths is Lila Downs. She has a Mixtec mother from Oaxaca (Mexico) and an American father from Minnesota. She was born in Oaxaca, Mexico. She spent part of her teenage years in the US, where she also earned an anthropologist degree at the University of Minnesota and learned singing. He is the right person to understand the value of the two cultures, Indo-Latin American and the American.
Since then, she has been recognized as one of the best Latin American artists for the dissemination of music from Mexico and the continent, defending indigenous causes without pause. At age 48 he continues to be a great pride of the Latin America culture..
I share with my friends one of her masterpieces: "La llorona", a Mexican song with indigenous roots. "La llorona" is a traditional personage who relates the drama of the women in the native cultures overwhelmed and trampled by the conquest. La llorona is the Xonaxi Quececulla of the Zapotecos, the Cihuacoatl of the Nahuas, the Xtabay of the Lacandones Maya and Aucanijme among the Purépechas.
