Ofrenda (English: Offering) is the first album by Mexican singer Lila Downs prior to her international career. It was released in the year 1994 the topics included in this album are a collection of traditional songs and Oaxaca Mexico,[1] also contains songs written by the singer since she began her career the songs included in this material are sung in Spanish, Mixtec and Zapotec languages that are native to State of Oaxaca. Lila Downs recorded this LP independently with the support of Oaxacan Institute of Cultures in 1992 and 1994 and I do a thorough compilation of issues repertoire traditional from Mexico.

With this material Lila Downs only became known in some scenarios State of Oaxaca and that occurs only in cafes, bars and nightclubs in the City of Oaxaca so that was not very far commercially because I do not do bulk promotions so that only about 1000 copies were published [2] (only in Mexico). This album is now discontinued and is no longer part of the official discography Lila Downs.

Because this album was not commercially successful and was disseminated widely, promoted only in LP and cassette, has never released a version by CD.
