Music like La Raíz

"Hasta la Raíz" (English: "Down to the Root") is a song by Mexican recording artist Natalia Lafourcade. It was released on January 14, 2015 by Sony Music Mexico. After attaining success from her previous album, Mujer Divina, a tribute to Mexican singer-songwriter Agustín Lara, Lafourcade decided to record an album with original recordings. Lafourcade spent three years in the writing process, searching for inspiration in different cities, resulting in songs with personal feelings regarding love. The song was produced by Lafourcade and enlisted Argentinian musician Cachorro López to assist with the production, and wrote the track with Mexican artist Leonel García.

After its release as the lead single from the album of the same title, "Hasta la Raíz" received positive reviews from music critics. The song was also commercially successful, peaking at number 17 on the US Billboard Latin Pop Songs and number five in Mexico. A music video for the track was directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios and recorded at the Estudios Churubusco in Mexico City, gathering 300 fans who responded to an invitation posted by Lafourcade in social networks. The video ranked on the list for the "10 Best Latin Music Videos of 2015" by Latin Post. "Hasta la Raíz" earned the accolades for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Alternative Song at the 16th Latin Grammy Awards.
