Natalia Lafourcade

In an AP News interview dated August 25, 2025, the producer Adán Jodorowsky confirms the use of an EMT 140 reverb plate on Natalia Lafourcade’s vocals for the recording of “Cariñito de Acapulco” from her 2025 album Cancionera.

English:

In the hypnotic “Cariñito de Acapulco,” Jodorowsky brought a less hurried tempo and an antique EMT 140 reverb to Lafourcade for the sensation of a 1950s Acapulco hotel. “It gave an incredible atmosphere to that song. And Natalia, she didn’t have so much reverberation [on previous records]. She always had a sound that was more dry,” Jodorowsky pointed out. “I believe that her soul wasn’t connecting with the digital reverb but it connected with this, which was totally organic.”

Spanish:

En la hipnótica “Cariñito de Acapulco” Jodorowsky llevó a Lafourcade un tempo más pausado y a un reverberador antiguo EMT 140 para una sensación de un hotel de Acapulco de la década de 1950. “Le dio una atmósfera increíble a esa canción. Y Natalia, ella no era tanto de reverberación. Ella tenía siempre un sonido más seco”, señaló Jodorowsky. “Yo creo que su alma no se conectaba con el reverb digital y se conectó con esto, que era totalmente orgánico”.
