The Esperanza Peace & Justice Center
celebrando 25 años, presenta
Lila Downs:
Dueña de las fronteras  Woman without borders
Sunday, March 11, 2012 6pm
Laurie Auditorium, Trinity University, San Antonio

Before she won a Grammy and before she became an international sensation, the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center introduced the enigmatic singer Lila Downs to San Antonians with two free concerts that enthralled thousands of fans.

Now the singer-songwriter-activist who intones passion and angst in everything from corridos, cumbias, ballads and even hip-hop is returning to San Antonio to launch celebrations for Esperanza’s 25th anniversary in a concert Sunday, March 11 at Trinity University’s Laurie Auditorium.

The concert - Dueña de las fronteras, Woman without Borders – also coincides with the Mexican-American singer’s release of a powerful new album, Sins and Miracles (Pecados y Milagros), an exploration of these religious notions against the backdrop of a Mexico wracked by drug violence, inspired by Downs' experience becoming a new adoptive mother (something she calls “a miracle”), and a contemplation of the meaning of “sin” in the modern world.
