Natalia opens a new chapter with “Consionera” Natalia Laforgate

For more than a decade who loved her music from a distance, I saw Natalia Laforgate playing directly for her album “Consionera” in Doluka as part of her tour. It is diminished to say that a dream is real: the evening is close, theatrical and deep. It’s not just a concert-it felt like a girl play. Laforgate performed every song phonetically, with him only his guitar, weave the stories between each piece.

Some artists feel woven like Natalia Laforgate for the cloth of modern Mexican music. In a professional life for more than two decades, he is not only one of the most beloved voices of Mexico, but also the most of Latin America Decorated and durable songwriters. At the age of 41, Laforgate consists of four gram awards and 18 Latin villages – even in history, more than any other woman in history.

In 23 years, he has released 12 albums and countless songs that have become part of Mexico’s joint soundtrack. A unique version of her “That is never enough” With Los Angeles Assules, this has increased more than that 2.2 billion views on YouTube Taco stands are playing everywhere, from marriage to weddings, which is a decade later.

The quiet power of Laforgade echoes beyond Mexico. His 2017 NPR Dine Desk Concert One of the 12 most viewed at all times is a proof of the universal access of his close, soul -trigger music.

Creating a musical icon

Natalia Laforgate, who was born in Mexico and grew up in the art of Varagruz, was surrounded by music from the very beginning. His father was a musician, and his mother, a classical -trained piano artist, created the teaching method of teaching, which combines music instruction with the personal development. That philosophy became the foundation of Natalia.

Laforgate attended music and art schools during his childhood, and at the age of 14, he joined the short -term teen pop group called Twist. Three years later, in 2002, he released his self-headed debut album. “My L 2000”, a playful, Y2K-time anthem from that record, became his brakeout success.

In the subsequent years, Laforgate leaned in collaboration and fascinates his sound with fellow musicians and released his second solo album “Hu Hu Hu”. But Auguston Laura said his 2012 tribute plan for “Mujer Devina” really attracted me. This made me in love with Laforgade’s music, and revealed how much timeless and how much he touches his artistic skills.

Reload the heritage

“Mujer Devina” referred to a beautiful departure from Laforgade’s pop roots to Pollero’s love world. In order to oring one of the most famous 20th century composers of Mexico, he redesigned the songs he had been loved since the 1930s. With the help of other acclaimed musicians, Laforgate brought a new life to Laura’s classics, setting up the tone for a new art era – one is based on spirituality and folk heritage, where his Sophrono voice rose.

The series of critically acclaimed albums, including “Hasta La Ross”, a folk-insulated and passionate source record “Hasta La Ross”, its title is the most streamd of song in Laforgade’s Spotfi and two volume “Musas”. These projects were developed in conjunction with Los Magorinos – which is very popular Chavela Vargas’s background band – Latin paid homage to the prosperity of American folk music. Here, the singer invented his signature sound: sound, timeless, reverence.

By 2018, the star of Laforgadine has risen well beyond Mexico. That year, he sang at the 90th Academy Awards with Miguel and Gayle Garcia Bernel “Remember me” From Picturer’s “Cocoa”, he will win the Oscar for Best Original Song.

Laforgate has been abundant in recent years, and later released two volumes of “Ann Conto War Mexico” and later in 2022 – the first album of his original music in seven years. He introduced the project at New York’s Carnagi Hall, with a book that examines the themes of the album and podcast. Describing the album, Laforgate called this “my salvation, my relief, re -seeds.”

“Sanger” and a new chapter

The latest program of Natalia Laforgade, released earlier this year, is still felt as her closest offering – a spiritual unraveling, a love letter to the past of Mexico and the artist. The album, which is completely recorded in taking analog tape with 18 musicians, echoes the warmth and flaws of the deepest man. Its sound is designed by the spiritual and reflective weight of the age of the golden age of Mexican cinema.

“This album is packed with symbolism, which is inspired by the surrealism of Mexico and the values ​​of our tradition and portrait,” Laforgate told Associated Press in April. “I wanted to respect the songs and the path of Consionaras and Consioneros of life.”

When I announced the Tour of the Laforgate Concionera in February, I could not go. Although I had never read about the inspiration of the album, it became clear that the show was built around a character and was quickly clear that the show was built around Morallos: his alternative ego, La Consionera. Area Savella Vargas, a Meskal-in-Condina partial smoking Mystic, this character sung Poleroos and Ranjraz, deliberately compassionate. Laforgate called “El Deitro de La Consiented” – the theater of the song – that’s it.

The evening came out like a quiet spell. “Consionra” is not just an album; This is a portal. Whether you have been following Laforgate’s journey for many years or finding only his work, this project is a reminder of his devotion to Mexican music – and the prolonged magic of the voice that finds new ways to sing the soul.
