Natanael Cano has changed the game when it comes to regional Mexican music.
At 20 years old, the singer is the leader of the regional urban music wave, popularizing the genre known as corrido tumbado. In the span of two years, the Mexican sensation has risen to the forefront of Latin music, collaborating with the likes of Bad Bunny, Snoop Dogg, Alejandro Fernández, and many other heavy hitters. Thanks to his hit,"Amor Tumbado," which reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs, Cano is now unstoppable.
"This is a true corridos tumbados album. It was made in a short time, but it came out as expected and is very well made. People will be able to hear the old Nata from before, but with an added spice," he notes, detailing his process."I make each song trying to make it better than the previous one. I go to the studio with an idea, I just start writing, I do freestyle, and that's how the songs are created. So my process is to completely improvise in the studio.
As for how the genre has impacted the musical landscape, Cano expresses,"It's broken barriers that have never been broken. This music has reached places that have never been touched. It's important to take into account that corridos tumbados have traveled a path that no other genre has traveled."
