Album Notes Although she's been recording since 1994, this '09 CD and DVD release marks the first survey of the singer's vibrant career. An archivist of Mesoamerican folk traditions, as well as a skilled songwriter in her own right, Downs memsermizes listeners with her deep vibrato, intelligent lyrics, and percussion-heavy, dance-ready songs that honor the old ways and yet sound fresh and current. She is celebrated for her intensity--the feral vocal on the stark "Arenita Azul" will startle new fans--but she also has a way with a smooth romantic ballad ("Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps").
