Natalia Lafourcade (born Natalia Lafourcade Silva on 26 February 1984 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a Mexican pop-rock singer and songwriter. Her band's name is Natalia y La Forquetina. Since she was very young, Natalia had a great interest in music, partly because her parents were musicians (her father is the French-Chilean musician Gastón Lafourcade). At three years old she began to sing and at four, she realized that she wanted to be an artist. She attended Instituto Anglo Español, a Catholic middle school. In her childhood and adolescence she studied painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and...

The producer employed the group as backing singers for Dekker, recording many hits with him including "The King of Ska"...

Die FOUR HORSEMEN gehörten zu einer Reihe von Bands, die sich in der Tradition diverser 70er-Bands sahen und vor allem, die eine dreckigere Form der 80ies-Hair-Bands waren. JUNKYARD, LITTLE CEASAR etc. als Beispiel. Von den mega-gehypten GUNS 'N ROSES nicht zu sprechen. Für das Scheitern all dieser Bands gibt es einige (gute) Gründe: 1. Business: Der oben angesprochene Aufschwung hatte keinen langen Bestand. Grunge kam (bzw. war schon da) und damit verloren fast alle "echten" Rock & Roller ihre Plattendeals. Wie es so oft schon geschehen ist, die Industrie setzte mal wieder auf die Karte des totalen Overkills und überflutete...
