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"

La luz envuelve
Mi corazón se viste
De rojo y revive
El sol no miente
Cuando amanece
Cambia el color de todo
Se mueve con el aire Se viste de rosa el mundo
Solo si estás tú
Pido tiempo al viento
No olvides más momentos
Vuelven sentimientos
Para recordar
El sol no miente
La luz envuelve
Cambia el color de todo
Se mueve con el aire
Se viste de rosa el mundo
Solo si estas tú
Pido tiempo al viento
No olvides momentos
Vuelven sentimientos

Pido tiempo al viento
No olvides
Vuelven sentimientos

"Tiempo al Viento" is a song by Natalia Lafourcade that speaks about the power of time, memories, and love. The lyrics convey the idea that the sun doesn't lie, as it changes the colors of the world and brings life to everything it touches. The sun is a metaphor for love, which also brings color and vitality into our lives. The singer's heart is awakened by this love and dressed in red, symbolizing passion and desire.
The chorus of the song speaks about the importance of time and memories. The singer asks the wind for time, not to forget the moments shared with her loved one. She wishes to preserve her memories and feelings, which come back to her mind and heart once again. Time and love are interconnected, and the song suggests that we should cherish the moments we have with the ones we love.
The song is not only a love song but also a reflection of life and time. Lafourcade uses the sun, wind, and colors to convey the beauty and fragility of life and love. The lyrics encourage the listener to be present and grateful for the moments they have and to hold on to the memories and feelings that bring joy and happiness.

Este disco ha sido uno de mis favoritos, hace unas horas atrás leí comentarios muy pesados sobre Nati y su forma tan experimental en la música a lo que llamaron (no encontrar identidad musical). Y tengo que decir que es una pena, como nos concentramos en querer gatillar algo, si te gusta bueno y sino pues chao, te vas a donde más te apetezca. Si yo pensara eso de Spinetta con cada uno de sus discos tan diferentes, gustandome unas canciones menos que otras, si encasillamos de esa forma estámos totalmente jodidos. Y no hay copias sino influencias musicales, Nati ha sacado el folclor de México siempre que ha podido, por eso me agrada su música, a veces unas canciones menos que otras. Pero grande, representando todos los colores y emociones de todos. Grande Nati.

Honestamente este disco para mi es el mejor que ha sacado...
@xanatvainilla4162
+semik también para mí, es tan bonito
@doloresmanrique9183
También es uno de mis favoritos. Excellente artista que ha sabido evolucionar, aunque otros lo llamen no tener identidad.
@neong4056
Lisse Gonzalez coincido contigo, pero además, considero que los sonidos y la sensaciones que produce este disco lo hacen de lo más original que ha hecho Natalia, este disco se escucha con el corazón no simplemente con los oídos!

22 años. 22 años lleno de violencia y maltrato psicológico, estuve inserta en una depresión que duró AÑOS, ahora recién me vengo a dar cuenta en lo que estaba metida y comencé a curarme mediante millones de métodos para salir adelante. Ahora puedo decir que estoy feliz, realmente el sol no miente cuando amanece, mi corazón brilla y mis ganas de vivir y reír están mas fuertes que nunca. 💞
