Lila Downs ~ Zapata Se Queda You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Yeah, her songs are nice. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I love Lila Downs; it's too bad that people in the US haven't learned to appreciate non English speaking singers and performers. They think the music world begins and ends in the US but they are truly missing out with artists like Lila.
IMHO she is also a very beautiful and sexy woman who is not afraid to show her "ethnic" beauty. “The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.” | |

Well, the USA has a World Series with only US (and Canada in a few cases) teams playing. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.
