An Evening with Natalia LaFourcade

Latin GRAMMY Award winner Natalia LaFourcade will perform at the Majestic Ventura Theater on Friday, August 5.

The most awarded artist of the last edition of the Latin Grammys started her successful career at age 14, when she joined the pop group Twist. It was then that she decided to devote her life to music and started attending music school. She learned to play guitar and piano, as well as studied singing and dancing. Later on, she attended a music training program at Berklee College of Music in Boston and, when she was 16, she started writing her own songs.

In 2002, at age 17, she signed her first record deal with Sony Music and made her debut album Natalia Lafourcade, which was produced by Loris Ceroni and Aureo Baqueiro.

In 2005, she released her second album Casa, which she wrote along with her band La Forquetina.

In 2006, after spending nine months in Canada, she wrote the instrumental album The Four Seasons of Love, which she recorded with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the State of Veracruz. At the same time, she also wrote some of the songs for her next solo album Hu Hu Hu, which was released in 2009.

Her fifth album is the magnificent Mujer Divina - Tribute to Agustin Lara, which set common ground between generations and highlights the romantic character of Mexican hearts. The album went Platinum selling over 90,000 copies in one year. It also remained a Top Ten best-selling album in iTunes for several months and was nominated for three Latin Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album, Best Recording Engineering for an Album and Best Music Video, Extended Version.

Her latest album released on March 2015, Hasta la raíz, debuted at #1 on iTunes and Deezer. Her first two singles “Hasta la raiz” and “Lo que construímos” were first place on Mexico’s Viral 50 Spotify Top Chart, and in the top ten globally. The album went Platinum in Mexico and Gold in Italy.
