Al Chile is het feestelijke, nieuwe album van Lila Downs. 2019 release
Mexican American star Lila Downs has a new album ‘Al Chile‘, produced Camilo Lara (Mexican Institute of Sound) and mixed by Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys). The new album’s first single is a cover of the Peruvian cumbia classic “Carinito” originally written by Ángel Aníbal Rosado. It was recorded with the backing band La Sonora Tropicana y La Banda Misteriosa de Oaxaca. Second single is a cover of Manu Chao´s "Clandestino."
“This new album is an homage to the chile,” Lila explains. “People often laugh and ask me if I’m serious! Yes, the music is a tribute to the fruit that causes us so much craving and suffering, but that we really love! We fry the chile, add beats from the city, then saxophones, trumpets and drums from the Mexican coast to keep the dance going. The village and the city are united by the same beat. With a mezcal in hand, we dream of a place with a palm tree where one falls in love and reflects.”
