Try not to miss Lila Downs, she has costa chica roots, we saw her several years ago in the plaza at Puerto and later at a summer festival in Quebec and can only imagine how much her music and presence has grown.

Ten or 12 years ago, Lila was a frequent visitor to Puerto, and performed here often.

One year, I was disappointed to learn that she was scheduled to perform in Puerto on Nov. 18, as part of the Fiestas de Noviembre, when I was departing Puerto on Nov. 12, and was therefore unable to catch her performance here.

However, two weeks after I arrived in NYC, Lila Downs performed there in a new cabaret theatre, and I caught both shows. She truly is an international musical star of the first order.

I've heard conflicting dates for Lila's performance. Any concrete update, Farkem?

The band Sonex is scheduled to perform.
They are terrific. Here is a link to their music with several videos;

Sheila:

We first heard Saturday, Nov. 17, but now believe it's Sunday, Nov. 18. We are in touch with her management office, and will post here once we're sure which day..

CONFIRMED: Lila Downs performs at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18, the second artist of that evening's performances.

Ok, Nov 18, at 8PM, but where specifically? The first link comes up jibberish on my screen. Thanks

The music venue in Mazunte traditionally is right on the beach, but at the moment is up-in-the-air, according to the last info I have.

This is because this year's storms have severely eroded the beach, and this concert may have to be moved, perhaps to the soccer field. I'm sure we will be directed to the concert when we arrive.

Forgot to mention -- this is a free concert, but you pay $100p for a table.

Update from Thursday:

It appears the concert is still planned for the beach in Mazunte ... and the available tables are the short-legged Oriental style, which means you sit in the sand.

Another reason to see this show: Lila Downs has just won a Grammy award for "best folkloric" album of the year.
