Natalia Lafourcade - Cancionera Tour

"Music is a universal language that connects, heals, and inspires. It serves as a key that awakens awareness and stirs the soul." NATALIA LAFOURCADE is a Mexican composer, artist, singer, and music producer, recognized as one of the most influential voices in Latin popular culture of this century. She was born in Mexico City and raised in Coatepec, in the state of Veracruz. Daughter of a Chilean father, a pianist, organ builder, and promoter of Baroque music; and a Mexican mother, an educator and creator of the Macarsi method for musical training. When Natalia was six years old, she was kicked in the head by a horse, resulting in a nearly permanent injury. Her mother developed and implemented a music-based method that aided her daughter's recovery. This experience sparked a deep fascination with music in Natalia from a very young age. Her self-titled debut album was released in the summer of 2002, when she was just 18 years old. In this album and her second one, Casa, Natalia moved gracefully between bossa nova, the warmth of classic bolero, and the vibrancy of alternative rock. The freshness and raw emotion in her lyrics conveyed a worldview brimming with hope. In 2007, she composed a symphonic suite inspired by love and the four seasons of nature, which she recorded in Veracruz with a youth orchestra. By that time, Natalia was already bringing to life dreams that once seemed unattainable. In 2012, she released “Mujer divina”, a heartfelt tribute to the work of Agustín Lara, which sparked in her the desire to honor Latin American songwriting by drawing inspiration from the masterpieces of composers like Violeta Parra, María Grever, and Simón Díaz. Later, her collaboration with the acoustic guitar duo Los Macorinos led to the creation of two LPs, Musas: a tribute to Latin American folklore, blending her own songs with folklore classics such as “Tú me acostumbraste,” “Soy lo prohibido,” and “Duerme negrito,” all interpreted with her unique touch. In 2015, she released Hasta la raíz, one of her most acclaimed albums, which helped her establish herself as one of the leading artists of her generation. The title track became an instant global anthem, resonating across different generations. In 2020 and 2021, she renewed her connection to her roots with the two volumes of Un canto por México, in which she revisits songs like “Cien años” and “La llorona” alongside like-minded artists such as Mon Laferte, Pepe Aguilar, Rubén Blades, and Silvana Estrada, among others. Collaborating with artists from different genres has been an adventure that has allowed her to explore sounds far from her comfort zone, while also reaffirming her own vision. "Nunca es suficiente", the nostalgic cumbia of broken hearts she recorded in 2018 with Los Ángeles Azules, became the most-watched Mexican video of all time, with over two billion views. She has also collaborated as an arranger, producer, composer, and performer with artists such as Juan Gabriel, Omara Portuondo, Jorge Drexler, Leonel García, Kevin Johansen, Gilberto Gil, Miguel, Jon Batiste, and Devendra Banhart, among others. For Natalia, music is the heart of existence, but not her only source of inspiration. Un canto por México was born from a concert she organized at the end of 2019 to help rebuild the Son Jarocho Documentation Center in Jáltipan de Morelos, in México, which had been damaged by two earthquakes. The Fundación Natalia Lafourcade was established to support music education through the traditions and folklore of Mexico and all of Latin America. De todas las flores, her most recent studio album, was recorded live on analog tape during sessions at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, Texas, and Acuyo Studio in Veracruz in October 2021. The musicians were immersed in isolation, connecting through pure intuition. The album blends experimental jazz, avant-garde ballads, and sunny retro tropical pop, creating a space where tragedy and warmth, restlessness and acceptance, coexist. As part of this new musical journey, she also released a self-titled book and "De Todas las Flores, El podcast", where she engages in thoughtful conversations with special guests about each track on the album. The album was released at Carnegie Hall in New York, with David Byrne, Jorge Drexler, and Omara Portuondo as honorary guests. During the concerts, Natalia took the stage wearing a black skirt, which she removed halfway through the performance. It was an extensive tour that spanned over 10 countries and sold out iconic venues with her innovative stage proposal. De todas las flores won a GRAMMY for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album and the Latin GRAMMY for Record of the Year. In December 2024, she released Live at Carnegie Hall, her latest album, which captures her live performance at the legendary New York venue. The album was produced by acclaimed producer Cheche Alara and mixed by GRAMMY-winning engineer Michael Brauer. During 2024, Natalia Lafourcade collaborated with the reno
