Lila Downs makes me want to re-learn Spanish.

Spanish is definitely one of my favorite not-so-foreign languages.  Right up there with Burmese and German.

I just love her soothing and thoughtful way of speaking (see this week's Bookmobile Wednesday for a sample of her music).  I wish I could grow up to speak as serenely and substantively as that.

Check out her myspace here.  Isn't she gorgeous?
