Mexican-American singer Lila Downs has often tackled hot-button issues like immigration and feminism. So it's no surprise that in her new album, "Shake Away," she has included songs about minimum wage and nostalgia for the homeland. But it also has songs by Santana and Lucinda Williams, as well as a duet with the legendary Argentinean singer Mercedes Sosa. Downs joins us to talk about it.

So great to have Lila on your show. Here's a suggestion. Have a place on your website to sell the album, make yourself a little profit. I rushed to Amazon to order the CD before I forgot to do it. Thanks for giving her air time!
