Hasta la raíz

Released in 2015, Hasta la raíz represents the definitive turning point in Natalia Lafourcade's career, marking her transition from a quirky indie-pop darling to a foundational pillar of modern Latin American music. Following her tribute to Agustín Lara, this album saw Lafourcade applying traditional folk sensibilities to her own original songwriting. Co-produced by Cachorro López and Leonel García, the record emphasizes organic textures and live-room dynamics. It swept the 2015 Latin Grammys, winning five awards including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Critics praised its ability to bridge the gap between commercial pop appeal and the authentic depth of the 'nueva canción' movement. The album's success sparked a broader revival of traditional Mexican sounds in contemporary pop, cementing Lafourcade's role as a cultural bridge-builder.
