Natalia’s father is the Chilean musician Gastón LaFourcade, and her mother is the pianist María del Carmen Silva Contreras.

Therefore, it’s very understandable Natalia chose to study painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and singing. If that wasn’t enough, when she was a 10 years old, the talented girl was already singing in a Mariachi group.

Still not impressed? The amazing Mexican musician signed her first record deal with Sony Music at the age of 17.

Her talent blossomed early and Natalia’s debut solo album prompted a Latin Grammy nomination in the category of Best New Artist. Fast forward a couple of years, and now she’s releasing albums one after another with a lot of success.

This famous lyric soprano from Mexico will gently tuck you in her gentle music.

As the video begins, the scene is in the apartment.

Two gentlemen are at the dining table playing guitars while the rest of the band is behind them, smoking cigarettes and chilling a bit. There is not much light and the atmosphere is relaxing—it feels like home. Natalia walks in, dressed in red and wearing a flower crown, and sits with them.

We imagine them hanging out for a couple of hours, and they’ve probably been playing, rehearsing, experimenting for a lot longer than we can imagine.

That’s the beauty of music—it brings people together. After that, we get to enjoy the outcome of getting to know another culture in all its glory.

When Natalia sings, you just listen.

With a romantic melody and her tender voice, Natalia opens her heart.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know Spanish, as that’s the least important thing here. The woman has an amazing, soothing voice and you can feel she’s singing about something glorious. The translation of the title would be “Loneliness And The Sea.” Lonely or not, you will understand every single word simply by listening to the song. You’ll feel it! It’s amazing how we surrender our mind to something different when it’s appealing as Natalia’s voice. The song makes you feel like you’re in love with life. It will remind you why it’s so beautiful, and you’ll feel grateful. Sometimes it’s not necessary to understand a language, the song will hit all the right spots.

Natalia won the Grammy Award in 2016 and is also a great humanitarian.
