Lafourcade was born in Mexico City, Mexico, surrounded by music and art. Her father is the Chilean musician Gastón Lafourcade who had French parents and her mother is the pianist María del Carmen Silva Contreras. Her uncle is the Chilean writer Enrique Lafourcade, a representative of the so-called "Generation of the 50s". She attended Instituto Anglo Español, a Catholic middle school, and studied painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and singing. When she was 10, Natalia sang in a Mariachi group.
She grew up in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico, where she studied music with her mother, María del Carmen Silva Contreras, imitating artists such as Gloria Trevi and Garibaldi. Her mother studied piano with a specialty in musical pedagogy and is the creator of the Macarsi Method for musical training and personal development for children and educators. She adapted and practiced the method with Natalia to help her rehabilitate through music following a head injury from being kicked by a horse.
When she was 17, Loris Ceroni gave Lafourcade the opportunity to be in a pop/rock group under his guidance. Lafourcade was hesitant, and Ceroni instead encouraged her to become independent. Lafourcade produced her first LP under the label of Sony Music. It was recorded in Italy and was cowritten with Aureo Baqueiro. Sabo Romo played in 2 songs. Natalia Lafourcade is a mix of pop, rock, bossa-nova and Latin rhythms. It features the songs "Busca Un Problema", "Elefantes", "Te Quiero Dar", "Mírame, Mírate", and her biggest hit, "En El 2000".
In 2005, she released Casa, her second album, but this time as Natalia y La Forquetina, the name of her band. Produced mostly by Café Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, Casa presents a more mature, rock-oriented sound while retaining pop and bossa-nova influences on a few tracks, such as lead single "Ser Humano" (pop-rock) and its follow-up "Casa" (pop-bossa-nova). Aureo Baqueiro returned to produce the few tracks not produced by del Real. More than a year after Natalia departed from La Forquetina, she recorded an instrumental album called The 4 Seasons of Love under Sony BMG label. She also wrote the Lyrics for "Tú y Yo" from Ximena Sariñana's self-titled album.
In 2009, she released the album Hu Hu Hu, a top 10 album in Mexico. The album was produced by Emmanuel del Real (who produced "Casa" in 2005), Marco Moreno and Ernesto García. It was nominated for Best female Pop Vocal Album at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards (won by Laura Pausini) and Best Latin Pop album at the 2010 Grammy Awards (won by La Quinta Estación). Club Fonograma also named the album the second best of 2009, and the seventh best of the decade.
In 2012, she released a tribute album to Agustín Lara called Mujer Divina.
Her next album, Hasta La Raíz, was released in March 2015. "Nunca Es Suficiente" (It's Never Enough), the first single off the album, was released on 10 February. The track "Hasta La Raíz" was No. 5 of the Viral 50 Global Spotify Chart and the No. 1 on the Viral 50 México chart.
In 2017, she recorded "Remember Me" as a duet with contemporary R&B singer Miguel for the credits of the movie Coco, and together they also performed the song at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony.
2020 saw her release the eponymous Un Canto por México, Vol. 1.
In 2023, She won a Grammy for her album " Un Canto Por México - El Musical"

Aventurera
Dale el precio del dolor
A tú pasado
Aquel, que de tus labios
La miel quiera
Que pague con diamantes su pecado
Vende caro tú amor
Aventurera
Dale precio del dolor
A tú pasado
Ya que la infamia de tú cruel destino
Marchito tú admirable primavera
Haz menos escabroso tú camino
Vende caro tú amor, aventurera
Ya que la infamia de tú ruin destino
Marchito tú admirable primavera
Que pague con diamantes su pecado
Que pague con diamantes su pecado
Que pague con diamantes su pecado
The lyrics of Natalia Lafourcade's song "Aventurera" express a message of empowerment and self-worth. The phrase "Vende caro tú amor" translates to "Sell your love at a high price." The singer is advising a woman to not give away her love too easily and to demand the respect she deserves. She urges her to set a high price for any man who wants to win her heart, even if it means causing some pain from her past to resurface.
The phrase "Aquel, que de tus labios, la miel quiera" translates to "He who wants the honey from your lips." The singer is saying that any man who wants the sweetness of this woman's love must be willing to pay the price she demands, and that price is equal to the pain she has experienced in her past. The phrase "Que pague con diamantes su pecado" translates to "Let him pay with diamonds for his sin." The singer is saying that the man who wants this woman's love must pay a high price to make up for whatever wrongs he has done in his past.
The singer then encourages the woman to not let the ruins of her past dictate her future. She tells her to make her path less difficult by setting high standards and maintaining her self-respect. The phrase "Ya que la infamia de tú ruin destino, marchito tú admirable primavera" translates to "Since the infamy of your ruinous destiny has withered your admirable spring." The singer acknowledges that the woman may have had a difficult past, but she encourages her to transform that pain into something positive by setting high standards and valuing herself.

Recordemos que muchas señoras y hasta nuestras madres tuvieron que abandonar sus sueños para seguir con la vida que la sociedad les impuso en su tiempo, recordemos que ellas tambien fueron jóvenes con sueños y metas que muchas no pudieron cumplirlas. Sin embargo aun asi son un pilar esencial en nuestras vidas y la sociedad

Me encanta la cantidad de símbolos que este vídeo encierra expresando como muchas mujeres deciden en nuestra cultura latinoamericana vivir en represión a veces fruto de nuestra misma hermosa cultura. La levitación de Natalia al final mas que referencias a Bettlejuice o no se que mas, me parece que es un mensaje de liberación femenina, no es accidente que lo haga en un mar para empezar que viene a simbolizar libertad. Definitivamente uno de mis vídeos musicales favoritos.
@Tonybc99
lo cual no tiene nada que ver con la cancion en si :V
@javiereduardojuarez2107
+tony bc Tienes media razón jajaja, el desarrollo de la canción tal vez no, pero si el concepto de "mujeres aventureras". No se tú, a mi me parece creativo que el video aporte algo más a la canción, en vez de replicarla. Saludos.

Lo que más me gusta del video es que usaron a niños y personas comunes, no usaron modelos y sets que venden una imagen falsa del país, como las TV novelas.
@Tonybc99
