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"
Que He Sacado Con Quererte

Que los dos miramos juntos, ay, ay, ay
Qué he sacado con los nombres, ay, ay, ay
Estampados en el muro, ay, ay, ay
Cómo cambia el calendario, ay, ay, ay
Cambia todo en este mundo, ay, ay, ay
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
Que plantamos en el patio, ay, ay, ay
No era uno el que plantaba, ay, ay, ay
Eran dos enamorado', ay, ay, ay
Hortelano, tu plantío, ay, ay, ay
Con el tiempo no ha cambiado, ay, ay, ay
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
Qué he sacado con la sombra, ay, ay, ay
Del aromo por testigo, ay, ay, ay
Y los cuatro pies marcados, ay, ay, ay
En la orilla del camino, ay, ay, ay
Qué he sacado con quererte, ay, ay, ay
Clavelito florecido, ay, ay, ay
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
Aquí está la misma luna, ay, ay, ay
Y en el patio el blanco lirio, ay, ay, ay
Los dos nombres en el muro, ay, ay, ay
Y tu rastro en el camino, ay, ay, ay
Pero tú, palomo ingrato, ay, ay, ay
Ya no arrullas en mi nido, ay, ay, ay
¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
The song "Qué he sacado con quererte" by Natalia Lafourcade ft. Los Macorinos is a melancholic reflection on the aftermath of a failed relationship. The first verse begins with the question "Qué he sacado con la luna?", which can be translated to "What have I gained from the moon?" The following lines suggest that the couple once found joy and togetherness in watching the moon together, but that joy has now faded. The next verse asks the same question, this time about a lily they had planted together. The lyrics hint at the fact that the couple are no longer together, with lines like "era dos enamorado'" suggesting that the love they once shared has now dissipated. The final verse is the most poignant, with lines like "Pero tú, palomo ingrato, ya no arrullas en mi nido" translating to "But you, ungrateful dove, no longer coo in my nest." The song ends with a repeated refrain of "¡Ay, ay, ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!" that amplifies the sadness and loss expressed in the lyrics.

@ernestlozano549
Quien opina que natalia es el mayor TALENTO actual en México?
@tonyramirezvictoria5882
Ernest Lozano Julieta es la número uno, aun le falta a Natalia pero va por muy buen camino. ❤
@ernestlozano549
Tony Ramirez Victoria dudo que con el montón de grammys acumulados le falte algo. ambas son buenas. me quedo por mucho con natalia
@tonyramirezvictoria5882
Ernest Lozano sólo tiene un grammy más que Julieta pero Julieta tiene un Musa Award, ademas en su MTV Unplugged, Natalia le hizo los covers demostrando que Julieta siempre ha sido una inspiración para ella. Me gusta mucho Natalia, tho
@ernestlozano549
Tony Ramirez Victoria anyway. experiencia no le falta como para que digas que ''ahí la lleva''
@Ultrabbeba
Natalia, tiene una voz muy educada, está superando a Julieta de manera definitiva, pero es lo de menos.
@mundokawaiiyayita4127
Solo una mujer mitad chilena y mitad mexicana podría interpretar de poca madre esta canción de Violeta Parra! Soy orgullosamente mexicana . Orgullosa de Natalia por que está escribiendo su propia historia, retomando puños de tierra para forjar con barro su propio imperio. Sonoro y lleno de magia. Con un folklor tejido de sentimientos latinos, deveras que no tienes madre Nat que chingona suena en ti. con todo y sus arreglos.
@nataliasaezbarra504
Hermosa versión del gran tema de nuestra Violeta Parra chilena💗💗muchas gracias Natalia por entregarnos tan hermosa versión y por llevar siempre a Chile en tu mente y corazón🌺🌹🌻
@jabitotal
Me da orgullo que cantes una canción de una persona tan gigante como violeta, Saludos y buena suerte desde Chile ♡
@lautaromoscon9900
La poesía de violeta es exquisita y su música tan hermosa, creería que está en un plano distinto al resto de lxs cantautorxs, Silvio le escribió un tema muy lindo, pero si ,Violeta es descomunal, la jardinera es la belleza hecha canción , saludos desde Argentina
