Mon Laferte

No one wields the high-drama torch song quite like Mon Laferte. The Chilean-born, Mexico City-based artist revitalizes the ghost-haunted traditions of Latin American bolero and ranchera, filtering them through the raw nerve of her early days in Valparaíso metal bands. Her self-released 2015 album, Mon Laferte, Vol. 1, became a word-of-mouth phenomenon powered by the devastating anthem 'Tu Falta De Querer,' and it's the key to her whole project. She commands the stage with the theatricality of a classic diva but bleeds with the fury of a punk, creating a sound that feels both timeless and dangerously alive.
