Musas Vol. 1: un homenaje al folclore Latinoamericano en manos de los Macorinos / by Natalia Lafourcade
Lafourcade explains that this album was done on a whim, and that she was planning to take time to make an album, but she met the guitar duo, Los Macorinos, and that this changed the direction of her new musical projection, which would end up being “Musas.” The album is a tribute to Latin American folklore and to recover the essence of mother earth and its veins through the musical medium.
Musas was praised by professional critics, considered one of the best albums of the year.

Hasta la Raíz / by Natalia Lafourcade
It took Natalia Lafourcade seven years, a break-up, a creative block, and a tribute album to come up with a new batch of original material, but the ordeal ended in the best possible way with Hasta la Raíz. Her most personal and focused work, Lafourcade's sixth studio album won universal accolades, culminating in four Latin Grammys, including song and record of the year for the beautiful title track. And it's all the more deserving considering that the gentle melancholy of Hasta la Raíz stands as the polar opposite of the loud melodrama and braggadocio that passes for (commercially successful) Latin pop these days.

Since the release of their self-titled debut, they've further explored their electronic side.
