31:13Now Playing“If we don’t fight for the children, what will become of us?” That is the question posed by the acclaimed Mexican singer Lila Downs in her stirring new cover of Manu Chau’s classic song “Clandestino.” In the video for the song, Lila Downs features images of U.S. detention centers holding migrants who had crossed the border. The song is one of many highlights on Downs’s new album—her ninth—titled “Al Chile,” which she recorded in Mexico City, Brooklyn, Oaxaca (where she was born) and even on a farm in Juchitán. Lila Downs is a six-time Grammy Award-winning singer and she joins us to perform and talk about her new album.
