Natalia Lafourcade

María Natalia Lafourcade Silva (born February 26, 1984) is a Mexican singer-songwriter. Her music combines elements of pop rock, jazz and folk, marked by poetic Spanish lyrics and a lyric soprano voice. She is considered one of the most influential female artists in Latin music of all time.

After briefly being part of the group Twist, she launched a solo career and released her debut, self-titled album, Natalia Lafourcade (2002), which earned her wide recognition with the single “En el 2000.” Her following album, Casa (2005), credited to Natalia y La Forquetina, incorporated alternative rock influences. After a break, Lafourcade returned with the pop album Hu Hu Hu (2009), including the single “Ella es Bonita.” She explored traditional music with Mujer Divina – Homenaje a Agustín Lara (2012), an album paying tribute to the Mexican composer. Her fifth studio album, Hasta la Raíz (2015), was critically acclaimed and a commercial success, particularly for its title track and the single “Nunca Es Suficiente.”

Lafourcade then explored folk and regional sounds in the Musas duology—Vol. 1 (2017) and Vol. 2 (2018)—before celebrating bolero and son jarocho with Un Canto por México, Vol. 1 (2020) and Vol. 2 (2021). She incorporated elements of Latin jazz on De Todas las Flores (2022) and continued this exploration with Cancionera (2025). Her accolades include 20 Latin Grammy Awards, the most of any female artist, five Grammy Awards and a Billboard Latin Music Award.
