Natalia Lafourcade: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Youtube ^ | Oct. 27, 2017 | Natalia Lafourcade

Felix Contreras -- Natalia Lafourcade is a successful singer-songwriter whose voice and music live on the edge of pop, but maintain a distinct independence.

A few years ago, while Lafourcade was traveling Brazil, she felt a great nostalgia for her native Mexico and its folk music. When she finally returned home, she immediately called some friends for the kind of party that is ubiquitous in Latin America: lots of social drinking, lots of food and lots of guitars and singing. Classic folk songs were on the playlist and a good time was had by all.

Someone recorded the informal jam session and Lafourcade's management team heard the tapes. "This is your next record!" they told her.

The good part of Mexico. I'm a huge fan. A mighty talent in a tiny woman, and she always puts me in a good mood.

Btw, her bald old guy guitarist - spitting image of me, in case anyone cares.

Fie on you!

Okay.
You got me curious.
I’ll go have a peak.
I can probably get her thinking right
if things go any further than that. :)

Okay. I’m back.
She said we could be friends—if I kept my distance.

Check out this dancer out of Argentina:

I don’t know anything about her, but... is she in any way against MAGA and P Trump?

She might have an angelic voice and be a watermelon—green on the outside and red on the inside.

Sound off!

No idea. I never heard a political opinion out of her. She was on a post Covid Mexican economic recovery thing but no obvious politics.

Hey,
Just wanted to hear what you thought about this dancer. I replied to myself somehow instead of to you so I’m not sure you got it:
