There is something about her voice or <em>voz<\/em> that just captivates me, and her songs are always filled with depth without loosing its whimsical feel. Natalia&#8217;s solo career began when she was just 17, and her first album was nominated to a Latin Grammy. Her more recent work includes the song &#8220;Remember Me&#8221; for the Disney movie Coco and a remake of her song <em>Nunca es Suficiente\u00a0<\/em>with <em>Los \u00c1ngeles Azules\u00a0<\/em>(more about them below).<\/p>\n<p>Natalia&#8217;s voice is easy to understand even when you are in the beginning stages of learning Spanish so I would highly recommend any song of hers to practice.\u00a0I previously included one of her songs in <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/the-tale-of-la-llorona\/\">a post about La Llorona<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She released the song <em>T\u00fa s\u00ed sabes quererme<\/em> or you know how to love me in 2017. The song starts of with the following\u00a0<em>letra<\/em> or lyrics:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Ha pasado tanto tiempo<br \/>\nFinalmente descubr\u00ed tus besos<br \/>\nMe enredaste en tu mirada<br \/>\nMe abrazaste con todos mis defectos<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>T\u00fa s\u00ed sabes quererme, t\u00fa s\u00ed sabes adorarme mi amor<br \/>\nNo te vayas, qu\u00e9date por siempre para siempre<br \/>\nPara siempre amarte<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Coraz\u00f3n, t\u00fa s\u00ed sabes quererme como a m\u00ed me gusta<br \/>\nSoy la flor encendida que da color al jard\u00edn de tu vida<br \/>\nCoraz\u00f3n, t\u00fa s\u00ed sabes quererme como a m\u00ed me gusta<br \/>\nPor favor no me dejes que soy valiente en corresponderte<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Natalia Lafourcade - T\u00fa s\u00ed sabes quererme (en manos de Los Macorinos)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ABLT6hdgEek?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Como t\u00fa by Le\u00f3n Larregui<\/h3>\n<p>Le\u00f3n Larregui is the vocalist for the Mexican rock band Zo\u00e9. He has taken a few breaks from the band to release his solo songs and has done quite well.\u00a0<em>Como t\u00fa\u00a0<\/em> was released in 2012 and is written and composed by him. The song has three very catchy sections. The lyrics are below:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div><em>Y a m\u00ed me gustan como t\u00fa<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Rebeldes y obstinadas\u00a0<\/em>(stubborn)<br \/>\n<em>Con ese glamour celestial<\/em><br \/>\n<em>De nubes en los pies<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Misteriosas como el mar<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"secrsf\"><em>Me gusta el tiempo de tu swing<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Me gusta c\u00f3mo bailas<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Elegante ultra sensual<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Vampira natural<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"secrsf\"><em>Te vuelves una con la noche<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"secrsf\"><em>Y me robaste el coraz\u00f3n<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Me secuestraste la raz\u00f3n <\/em>(reason)<br \/>\n<em>En ese magic music box<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Y me haces rodar y rodar<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>The lyrics to this song are not very complicated and the cheerful beat make it a great sing-along! If you want lyrics with depth, I would suggest you take a look at Zo\u00e9&#8217;s songs, especially their unplugged CD.

No party or wedding in Mexico is complete without a few of their songs, and, if you lived in Mexico for even a few years, you might know a song or two from them. In 2018, they performed at Coachella in the U.S. making them the first <em>cumbia<\/em> group at the event.<\/p>\n<p>While <em>Los \u00c1ngeles Azules\u00a0<\/em>have been popular for a very long time, they have recently been making <em>canciones <\/em>or songs with artists from other genres. In 2018, they collaborated with several artists to release an album of remakes, <em>cumbia style. <\/em>In 2019, they released the song below together with famous Mexican pop singer Belinda, and Colombian reggaeton singer Lalo Ebratt.
