Natanael Cano

Nathanahel Rubén Cano Monge (born 27 March 2001) is a Mexican singer-songwriter. He is known for his fusion of regional Mexican corridos, known as corridos tumbados. The idea to fuse the two genres was proposed by Dan Sanchez who wrote Cano's first corrido tumbado, "Soy el Diablo".

Early life Cano was born in Hermosillo, Sonora. When he was seven, he showed off his talent at family events and parties or wherever he was invited. When he first taught himself to play the piano at thirteen, he learned Mexican band Maná's "Rayando el Sol" off of YouTube. Then he focused on regional Mexican corridos like the ones by Ariel Camacho who was his main source of inspiration.

Music career 2018–2019: Career beginnings, Todo Es Diferente, and Corridos Tumbados Cano began his music career in 2018 by uploading guitar covers to YouTube and later grew into performing underground. Later that year, he released his debut studio album Todo Es Diferente. He would eventually get the attention of Jimmy Humilde, who is the owner of Los Angeles-based urban regional Mexican label Rancho Humilde, and signed him onto the label in March 2019 after watching Cano on an Instagram video in early 2019. He would eventually collaborate with Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny on the remix for "Soy el Diablo", which was the second single from his debut album Todo Es Diferente. Following the collaboration, Cano released his second studio album Corridos Tumbados, containing collaborations with Junior H, Nueva Era, Dan Sánchez, among others. A month later, he would release his debut EP, Mi Verdad Corridos Tumbados, with him releasing another EP at the end of 2019, Mi Nuevo Yo.

Cano eventually had partnerships with Warner Music Latin Cano has been recognized as the artist of the month through Apple Music Up Next, "a show aimed at discovering rising stars that in previous years advanced several of today's top talents".

Artistry The fusion of trap music and regional Mexican corridos known as corridos tumbados were born in Los Angeles where Cano arrived with Rancho Humilde to showcase his talents. Cano says that he if he could see any artist perform dead or alive, it would be Ariel Camacho since he died before Cano got a chance to see him in concert. By his late teens, he became inspired by a corrido group from Orange County, California, Legado 7, known best for their "lumbre corridos" (fire corridos), which they became known for since they broke traditional values and wrote lyrics about weed. , which would eventually be fulfilled in 2025, through both combining on a remix of Cano's song, Como Es. In an interview through Univision, Cano admitted that he also would like to collaborate with Mickey Woods Jr. and Bad Bunny, with the latter later joining Cano on his song, Soy El Diablo.

Personal life On 20 August 2024, Cano was arrested in Hermosillo for bribery; a video in which he appeared to give money to a police officer had spread on social media in March.
