Hu Hu Hu
2009 studio album by Natalia Lafourcade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hu Hu Hu is the third album by Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade, released on 19 May 2009 by Sony Music. After releasing her album Casa as Natalia and la Forquetina, she took a hiatus from performing.[1] She returned to music with the release of the instrumental EP, Las 4 Estaciones del Amor in 2008. Lafourcade decided to name the album "Hu Hu Hu" because she perceived the phrase to be "an expression of joy".[citation needed]
