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.{{cite news |url=http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/espectaculos/89026.html |title=Encuentra su libertad Natalia Lafourcade experimenta nuevos ritmos en el estudio de grabación |last=Madrigal |first=Alex |date=March 25, 2009 |work=El Universal |language=Spanish |accessdate=28 December 2009 |archive-date=6 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606051318/http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/espectaculos/89026.html |url-status=dead }} 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|date=March 2023}}
The album was produced by Emmanuel del Real, Marco Moreno, and Ernesto García. The album was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards (won by Laura Pausini) and Best Latin Pop album at the 2010 Grammy Awards (won by La Quinta Estación). Club Fonograma also named the album the 2nd best of 2009,{{Cite web |url=http://www.clubfonograma.com/2010/01/club-fonogramas-best-albums-of-2009.html |title=Club Fonograma's Best Albums of 2009 |access-date=20 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150610224223/http://www.clubfonograma.com/2010/01/club-fonogramas-best-albums-of-2009.html |archive-date=2015-06-10 |url-status=dead }} and the 7th best of the decade.{{Cite web |url=http://www.clubfonograma.com/search/label/best%20of%20the%20decade?updated-max=2010-02-12T02:52:00-07:00&max-results=20&start=1&by-date=false |title=club fonograma: best of the decade |access-date=2012-03-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923204912/http://www.clubfonograma.com/search/label/best%20of%20the%20decade?updated-max=2010-02-12T02%3A52%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=20&start=1&by-date=false |archive-date=2015-09-23 |url-status=dead }}
CD artwork
The cover showed Lafourcade wearing a large headpiece of a lynx's head. Animals were featured elsewhere in the artwork and promotional materials. An owl was featured on her Myspace page and a lynx on her YouTube channel. Federico Escoto and Roberto Carrara designed the artwork.{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Natalia-Lafourcade-Hu-Hu-Hu/release/2360410 |title=Natalia Lafourcade - Hu Hu Hu (CD, album) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=28 January 2012}}
