Lila Downs was born on September 19, 1968, in Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, Mexico. She was the outcome of the union of Allen Downs, an American Professor of Art and Cinematographer and Anita, a Mixtec woman. Downs spent her life shuttling between Mexico and U.S.A. She grew up enduring a major identity crisis because of her mixed lineage. She had to face racism both in Mexico and U.S.A. She abandoned her wish and pursuit for becoming an opera singer at the age of 16 as she developed aversion for academic atmosphere of the University of Minnesota. Later, she even followed the band Grateful Dead for a while before returning to the mountains in Oaxaca. While learning to weave there she also penned a thesis on Triqui Women's art of weaving. Her real purpose for returning to Oaxaca, however, appears to have been introspection. She joined the University of Minnesota again and graduated in voice and anthropology. But her introspection had not ended yet and she was still dissatisfied. She returned back to Oaxaca and worked at her mother's auto parts shop for some time. But her music was her life and she returned back to it. She penned and vocalized 'Offenda' which describes the pain and sorrow that plague the lives of Mixtec migrant workers.
