Ms. Lafourcade, although not as well known in the United States, is one of the biggest names in Latin American indie-pop music. She has earned 8 Latin Grammy Awards including 5 for her 2015 album Hasta la Raiz. 

For the ACL taping, she was backed by a talented quintet, including Alfredo Pino on trumpet, guitarist Gustavo Guerrero, and keyboardist Carlos "Champi" Benavides. Natalia played both the guitar and piano during some of the songs.
