Natalia Lafourcade
By Sam Walker-Smart
One of Latin America’s most successful pop singers brings her unique mix of folk, bossa nova and rock to Poble Sec for what promises to be one enchanting evening. From a musical family, Mexican-born Natalia Lafourcade has spent the past fifteen years fusing traditional rhythms with more contemporary production and execution. It’s been a winning combination – her 2003 self-titled debut topping charts and earning her a Grammy nomination, her first of many to come.
Seven albums in and the artist’s inspiration shows no signs of running dry; her latest work Musas has been heralded as her best by many. An homage to Latin American folk music, the album is a fresh take on traditional themes and has proven to be another cross-genre hit. If you like your music soulful with plenty of added groove and charm, this is not a show to miss.
