Natanael Cano

The creator of the unique genre “urbano regional,” which combines the traditional corrido themes with rap, trap, and hip-hop, Natanael Cano (May 1st, 2001) is a Regional Mexican artist from Hermosillo, Sonora. He developed an interest in music from a very early age, teaching himself how to play guitar by watching Ariel Camacho videos. After dropping out of high school at the age of 16, Natanael Cano began uploading original material to his video streaming channel, catching the attention of producer Jimmy Humilde, head of the indie label Rancho Humilde. With the support of the label, the young corrido artist made waves in the contemporary Regional Mexican scene with early singles like “El de la Coedina,” “Perfecta," and “El F1.” A digital mini-album titled Todo Es Diferente arrived in 2019 and was followed by his breakthrough single “Soy el Diablo,” which found an unlikely champion in Bad Bunny, spawning a subsequent remix featuring the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist. On Halloween 2019, Natanael Cano dropped his full-length Corridos Tumbados, quickly achieving pole position on the Mexican charts and paving the way for his sophomore effort Mi Nuevo Yo. His hot streak continued in 2020 with the albums Corridos Tumbados, Vol. 2, Trap Tumbado, Soy El Nata, and Las 3 Torres, which included guest spots by Junior H, Ovi, Ozuna, and Snoop Dogg. In 2021, Natanael Cano issued the LP El Nata and the single “Amor Tumbado,” a new version of Mi Nuevo Yo's opening track featuring pop singer Alejandro Fernández. Continuing on from this success, on May 28, 2021, Cano released A Mis 20, which debuted at Number 1 and certified 2x Platinum, which he followed with NataKong in 2022 and Nata Montana in 2023, the latter climbing to number 2 on the Mexican charts. He further diversified his artistic range in 2024 with the romantic corrido “Madonna” alongside Óscar Maydon and the impactful BZRP Music Session #59 (“Natanael Cano: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 59” and “Entre las de 20”) produced by Bizarrap, which charted prominently in Mexico and brought his music into Latin trap circles. Natanael Cano also paid homage to Ariel Camacho with the live tribute album Recordando a Ariel Camacho, recorded in Guadalajara in late 2024, and released a stirring cover of Rocío Dúrcal’s “Ya Te Olvidé” in mid‑2024, garnering over 40 million views and additional chart presence. Released in 2025, his eighth studio album Porque la Demora found the corridos tumbados pioneer experimenting with trap, Afrobeats, and reggaeton while collaborating with Gabito Ballesteros, Victor Mendivil, Myke Towers, and Eladio Carrión, among others.
