Filmed live concert by Natalia Lafourcade for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk, recorded in 2017 at the radio’s offices in Washington. A Mexican singer-songwriter, Natalia Lafourcade moves between pop and Latin American folk. This live concert extends her project Musas: Un Homenaje al Folclore Latinoamericano en Manos de los Macorinos, a critically acclaimed tribute to the continent’s traditional music, nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards. The intimate, acoustic live format presents her with the guitar duo Los Macorinos — Juan Carlos Allende and Miguel Peña, two revered musicians who notably played with ranchera legend Chavela Vargas. Between boleros, sones and folk songs, this filmed live concert highlights the singer’s crystalline voice and the art of guitar accompaniment, in the atmosphere of a musical gathering. Captured by NPR Music (editorial production: Felix Contreras). Latin American music to watch as a filmed live concert. Year: 2017.
