As a return to her beginnings, Lila Downs describes her most recent songs; she asserts that on this occasion, releasing unreleased music, she had the opportunity to travel back to the rhythms that propelled her career.<\/span><\/p>\n She recently released \u201cChanges My World\u201d with a special collaboration from rapper Snow Tha Product and \u201cTumba 7\u201d, both in a cumbia rhythm very much in the singer\u2019s style and with lyrics drawn from her inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n The track \u201cChanges My World\u201d reflects the resilience and strength of young women who, through study and daily struggle, transform their surroundings, a theme important to her interpretation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt was very beautiful that Snow Tha Product agreed to do this collaboration. She is inspired by the students I support through a scholarship, where every year I give a benefit concert here in my homeland, Oaxaca. It is inspiring to see the young women in their transformation through education; they arrive quietly and curious about what will happen and six months later you see them with an extraordinary vocabulary and their thoughts changed. That is what the song is about,\u201d she shared.<\/span><\/p>\n What motivates Lila to seek collaborations for a better future for the young women of Oaxaca, her place of origin, is the lack of opportunities she herself faced.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt makes me think back to my adolescence and how difficult it was for me to face a society in which I felt I wasn\u2019t very supported as a woman; on the contrary, I was attacked.<\/strong> For me it is important to lend a hand to these young women. And thinking about that, to craft lines that accompany other women in their sound around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
