The year is 1969 and the music world is in a frenzy.
Otis Redding tells us it’s groovin time, Jim Morrison demands to be touched, BB King laments that the thrill is gone, and while Janis Joplin encourages him to try a little bit harder, Crosby Stills and Nash have boarded the Marrakesh express.

It is at this very moment that Natalia M King decides to be born.
Because Natalia is the kind of woman who decides- her life
the colour of her music, and the backdrop of her melodies.

Gone are the childhood days where she meandered the sidewalks of Brooklyn. Music suddenly emerges as an inescapable truth, one which spins invisible threads between the soul and the heart. Natalia sings for life…

With a guitar in hand, and a backpack on her back, she sets off for paris, which would be the city of light to a voice, her voice. There, a diamond in the rough, she would sing in bars and the métro, surrounded by dumbstruck passers-by who can’t believe their ears.

She’s a frail, gracious person with an astonishingly powerful, incantatory voice – one that cracks like a whip, resounding and opening itself up entirely, with neither mannerisms nor ornaments, and often bordering on a cry – and also a musical individuality that is atypical, and openly left-field. A mature, inhabited work that comes as a consecration of the talent and strong personality of this young, Afro-American lady of 33 whose activities reach widely (she sings, composes, writes, arranges and plays a marvellous guitar), and whose character is demanding, inspired, spontaneous, extraordinarily lucid and wide-awake.
“Nothing is sure, nothing’s durable, nothing is definitive, nothing fixed,” she says. “Everything is movement.”

Movement: the word sticks literally to the biography of this woman burning with life and saturated with energy, a “yearning soul” brimming over with desire and humour. Of Dominican origin, she was born in 1969 in Brooklyn’s Latino-American district. We can imagine her childhood was filled with suffering. Her relationship with her mother (who raised Natal
