Ana Lila Downs Sánchez, ou - Lila Downs -, née à Oaxaca, au Mexique, est la fille de la chanteuse mixtèque Anita Sánchez et d'Allen Downs, professeur d'art et cinéaste américano-écossais. Elle a grandi à Oaxaca, en Californie, et au Minnesota, où elle a obtenu un diplôme en chant et en anthropologie à l'Université du Minnesota. Downs est généralement accompagnée dans son parcours musical par son groupe de longue date, La Misteriosa, des multi-instrumentistes multiculturels parmi lesquels Paul Cohen, son collaborateur, producteur et mari.
Sa vision musicale est de nature anthropologique et aussi variée que les cultures anciennes et terrestres qui continuent de la nourrir et de l'inspirer. Embrasser et mettre en valeur les origines indigènes, que ce soit aux États-Unis ou au Mexique, a toujours été un aspect important de sa musique, ainsi que les thèmes de la justice politique et sociale, de l'immigration et de la transformation, tous enracinés dans la condition humaine. Elle s'efforce d'établir un lien significatif avec ses divers publics à travers sa musique et ses performances.
