Natalia Lafourcade - 14 Días en Japón


If you need any more reasons to fall in love with Natalia Lafourcade, make sure you keep an eye for Natalia’s webseries 14 Dias en Japon, a travelogue documentary of one of her recent trips to Japan. We all know Natalia’s music is universal, but apparently, her sensibilities click tremendously well in that part of the world (no wonder we get so much undisclosed traffic from Asia). Perhaps Natalia’s relationship with Japan would be similar to that of ‘Morrissey and the Mexicans.’ Here is episode #1, it’s gorgeously shot and seriously, the Mexican chanteuse gets prettier every day. It’s so nice to see her promoting her gig, and that guy at the record store is hilarious… “me gusta Luis Miguel.”

Natalia just finished a mini-tour in the states, and is starting to get everything ready to release a new album next year. The 14 episode series (which is actually a documentary) is produced by Mexico’s amazing video project RaRaRa, expect a new episode every week.

cinemadosmil: cincuenta canciones



There are good blogger friends, and then there’s Aldo Alvarez Tostado. He is a recent Architecture graduate from Guadalajara and one of my favorite people in the world. Despite having my age (22), he’s one of the most influential people in my appreciation of the arts. We met many years ago through a movie message board and have become good friends over the years. It’s great to know there’s someone out there so in tune with your taste, in both cinema and music. It comes as no surprise that I’m in love with his latest list cinemadosmil: cincuenta canciones, a journey on the decade’s most melodic-cinematic moments, like any good list (in my mind), this is a very personal list from Aldo, but that doesn’t stop me from saying it’s my favorite list, ever. Aldo is currently serving as the managing editor of Mexacriticos & the ACLM (Asociación de Críticos en Línea de México), a project we launched a couple of years ago comprised of professional movie critics, movie bloggers, and cinephiles specialized in Mexican cinema. Find the full presentation of the 50 songs (original or adapted) that comprise this special at Mexacriticos.
