Our special curated playlist continue as we revisit some of our very favorite conversations since the start of the show.

Happy listening. That is La Jorona, that is La Yorona, one of the songs on Natalia La Forcades' newest album,

Encanto for Mexico No. 2, a benefit project to fund the reconstruction of a cultural center in

Veracruz.

Natalia has won 14 Latin Grammys and two Grammys, and still somehow has managed to live

an incredibly private life.

We get into that, along with how mysticism manifests in her creative process, and how she

rejects the urgency of any moment being her last.

I have to tell you, I am a super fan.

This means a lot to me.

So thank you for taking the time to do this.

Gracias, I'm in.

Thank you.

Where am I speaking to you today?

Where are you?

I am in Veracruz.

I am in Veracruz in my house.

How does it feel to finally have this album out in the world?

It feels great because we've been spending so much time on it, so much energy and love. So we've been since January working on the visuals, the music, the mixing process,

which is one of my favorite things.

Whenever I work on an album is like one of my favorite things. Whenever I work on an album,

it's like one of my favorite parts mixing.
