La Santa Patrona De Los Corazones Negros - Mel Muñiz

The Patron Saint of Black Hearts is a mythical and pagan figure who guides this musical and emotional journey between shadow and desire. Through bachatas, sones, salsas, and boleros, each song becomes a ritual of movement and trance, as if dancing to the echoes of an ancient orchestra in an enchanted cabaret.

Inspired by the 18th Tarot card—The Moon—the album evokes the cyclical, the intuitive, and the occult, immersing us in cinematic landscapes: rituals with snake bones, offerings in dreamy swamps, seas transformed into poetic bachatas. It's a journey through funerals, oracles, intense loves, and emotional hangovers that can only be overcome through dancing.

A legend frames this work: the story of a woman who was a goddess, an offering, and a miracle in a fiery cabaret of desires and broken hearts. Her figure lives on in the fire, the gin, and the records played every night by devotees seeking love, oblivion, or revelation.

The album cover, created with Hernán Corera, depicts Mel as a channel for this saint, crowned by her shadow and crossing the waters of the Riachuelo alongside the community that sustains this collective spell of music, dance, and mystery.
