Hi Shannon
We saw Lila at Carnegie Hall in NYC on Tues. What a show!! 3 encores to a cheering crowd. 1st encore she came out with a 15 person mariachi band-I love the mariachis! Her final encore she came out by herself and sang a heartfelt song of love and thanks to the audience. Fantastic stage presence.
Viva Lila

Fabulous, glad you had the opportunity to see her!
