About

Natanael Cano isn't just rewriting the rulebook for regional Mexican music; he's setting it ablaze. This brash, unapologetic voice from Hermosillo, Sonora, ignited the "corridos tumbados" movement, a potent blend of traditional corrido storytelling with the swagger and sonic textures of trap and hip-hop. Cano's music isn't your abuelo's mariachi; it’s a raw, modern soundscape filled with tales of street life, romance, and ambition, delivered with a vocal grit that’s both vulnerable and defiant. His breakthrough came with tracks like "Soy El Nata," establishing his signature sound. Cano's fusion has fractured and energized the Mexican music scene, drawing both fervent fans and traditionalist critics. Collaborations with Bad Bunny and Snoop Dogg have propelled corridos tumbados into the global spotlight, solidifying Cano's position as a key innovator. He’s not just an artist; he's a cultural disruptor, reflecting the realities and aspirations of a new generation. Expect Cano to continue pushing boundaries, his recent projects showcasing his evolution beyond the initial trap-corrido formula, delving into more complex sonic textures and lyrical themes.
