Lila Downs on her 'Cambias Mi Mundo' tour

Lila Downs plays The Moore Theatre on Tuesday, October 13, as part of her Cambias Mi Mundo tour. The Grammy winner is known for a voice that's hard to pin to one genre, and she usually takes the stage in indigenous costumes that reflect the roots of her music. Her sound pulls from rancheras and boleros and weaves them into jazz and hip-hop.

On this tour, she's drawing songs from her critically acclaimed albums, and the set explores indigenous Mixtec and Zapotec sounds mixed with jazz, blues and traditional ranchera music. If you've followed her work, you'll recognize some of the songs fans point to as classics: "La Llorona," "Paloma Negra" and "Zapata Se Queda."

Downs is a Mexican musician who has built her career around these intersections—indigenous languages and traditional Mexican forms meeting modern jazz and blues. The Cambias Mi Mundo tour brings that together on one stage, with the set pulling from across her discography rather than sticking to a single record. It's a good way to hear the different threads she works with, from the ranchera heart of her early records to the jazz and hip-hop she's brought in over time.

The Moore Theatre is on Second Avenue in downtown Seattle, in the city's live-entertainment district, and it's known for its sound and intimate setting. Tickets start at $54.
