In Conversation with Natalia Lafourcade and Gustavo Dudamel
The duo reunites for the first time in 5 years
In 2019, singer and songwriter Natalia Lafourcade collaborated with Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Phil for an unbelievable, unforgettable night at the Hollywood Bowl—something Natalia calls "one of the happiest days of my life." Five years later, they're doing it again. Ahead of their concerts at the Bowl in September 2024, Gustavo and Natalia reconnected to reminisce about that special evening and discuss the ways music keeps us connected, grounded, and inspired.
