I purchased three or four of her cds since discovering her music on the 2015 Latin Grammys (and a good friend from Durango, Mexico also suggested her to me). The set was light on her early work, which made sense because a lot of people here came to know her through her Grammy winning Hasta La Raiz.
The music felt very liberating and personal. At times one could be forgiven for feeling she was singing directly to you, as I did several times. She did that little dance she does with her shoulders too. (I'd purchased the VIP package for that show, so I was doubly heartbroken but I understood Houston to Dallas to LA made more sense than Houston to DC to LA). I'm sure many had purchased tickets to her Lincoln theater show that was cancelled last year. When she came on stage, the crowd erupted. She is easily my favorite artist today, and one of my favorite of all time. I was glad there was no opening act, because I just wanted to see Natalia. They came based on the venue and a blurb of her on the website.
CARLA MORRISON GREEK THEATRE FULL
In a theater full of people that obviously were fans and knew her music, I somehow ended up seated between an older gentleman and another gentleman with his daughter that knew the venue, but not the artist. The venue was an 800 seat synagogue, which is not where you might expect one of the biggest pop acts in Mexico to perform, but it's intimate and amazing.
I'm not Latino, I don't speak Spanish, and my date couldn't make it. If I'm honest, I almost didn't go to this show. The full-length “Majer Divina” arrived in September 2012 winning a pair of Latin Grammy Awards, followed by “Hasta La Ruiz” in March 2015. 9 on the Mexican Album Chart and subsequently spawned the singles “Ella es Bonita”, “Cursus Melodias”, and “No Viniste”. In May 2009 Lafourcade issued her second full-length album “Hu Hu Hu”, led by the single “Axul”. Noted for its instrumental nature, the four-track record is themed around the earth’s seasons and raised the anticipation for the singer’s solo sophomore release.

The group supported the release by a year-long series of shows around Mexico, after which in 2006 Natalia y la Forquentina parted ways.Īfter moving to Canada for nine months Lafourcade recorded and released the EP “Las 4 Estaciones del Amor” in January 2009. Despite not fairing as well as her solo debut, the record topped the Mexican Albums Chart, earned platinum certification and the Latin Grammy for Best Rock Album. Working with producer Emmanuel del Real, the group’s debut album “Casa” was released in 2005 marked by driving guitars and heavy drums. The band’s debut arrived in 2004 after being invited to compose a song for the film “Temporado de Patos”, for which Natalia y la Forquentina produced crafted “Un Pato”. The album has since been certified three times platinum, aided by the singles “En El 2000”, “Busca un Problema”, “Elefantes”, and “Te Quiero Dar”, and secured four Latin Grammy Award nominations.įollowing the release, Lafourcade surrounded herself with drummer Alonso, guitarist Chanona, and accordion and keyboard player Yuno, who collectively became known as Natalia y la Forquentina. Issued by Sony Norte, “Natalia Lafourcade”, is a genre-defying record that showcases the singer’s wide spectrum of influences, distinctive vocals and apt songwriting. The musician and producer Ceroni subsequently produced the majority of Lafourcade’s debut, self-titled full-length released in 2003. Three years later the singer was offered a spot in a new pop/rock group by Italian producer Loris Ceroni, however after appearing reluctant, Ceroni encouraged Lafourcade to go solo. At the age of 10 Lafourcade sung in a Mariachi group before joining a girl trio group named Twist in 1998. Born the daughter of French-Chilean singer and musician Gastón Lafourcade, Natalia grew up singing, acting and playing a number of instruments during her time in school.
