Musas: Un homenaje al folclore latinoamericano en manos de Los Macorinos, vol. 2

Musas Vol. 2 serves as the second installment of Natalia Lafourcade's deep dive into the Great Latin American Songbook, recorded alongside the legendary guitar duo Los Macorinos (Miguel Peña and Juan Carlos Allende). While Vol. 1 established the project's intent, Vol. 2 feels more expansive and emotionally varied, featuring both covers of classics and original compositions that mirror the traditional style. The album highlights Lafourcade's transition from an indie-pop darling to a premier interpreter of folk genres like bolero, son jarocho, and vals. Critics, including those from AllMusic, praised the album for its 'exquisite' arrangements and Lafourcade's ability to sound both classic and contemporary. The recording emphasizes high-fidelity analog warmth, capturing the natural resonance of the instruments. It stands as a pivotal moment in her career, solidifying her role as a cultural bridge-builder and a guardian of Mexican musical heritage.
