Lila Downs Sings About Detained Children in New Manu Chao Cover

Imagen
When I think of social justice singer/songwriters, especially an artist that advocates for Latinos and indigenous people, there’s one that always comes to mind: Lila Downs. The Mexican songstress, by way of Oaxaca, has been bringing audiences prideful Mexican culture and music since the early ’90s. Her music resonates because of her powerful lyrics and voice, and she’s using that to bring awareness to the injustices happening at the border. Her new single titled “Clandestino” revamps the Manu Chao original to bring a beautiful rendition in which she takes on immigration by targeting the U.S. government and their appalling treatment of undocumented children.

WORDS THAT HURT: Downs's new album documents the war on the Mexican-American border. BY JOSH KUN Susan Sontag began her recent acceptance speech for the Jerusalem Prize, which is awarded annually to a writer who examines the relationship between freedom and individuality, by talking about words. She spoke of how words are never just words, especially words that are big and over-arching and general. These words, she said, can come to “resemble rooms or tunnels. They can expand or cave in.” Because they mean so much, they can end up meaning so little. She gave as an example “peace,” a word that can mean either victory or defeat depending on who employs it and who it is employed against. It is of course no coincidence that she offered her comments in the Middle East, at yet another moment of crisis in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Such moments force us to re-evaluate how the world becomes narrative, how society is transformed by the language that pretends to represent it...
