Maritxell Releases Video for Debut Single ‘Corazón’

by EAStaff | November 5, 2019


Singer-songwriter, Maritxell, has released the official video for her debut single, “Corazón.” Inspired by Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms, it blends elements of Bomba with Latin American folk music instrumentation, essentially creating a unique new subgenre. The lyrics narrate the journey of the artist finding her own voice through the strength of her resilient heart. Anchored in live drums weaving a combination of traditional rhythms, the song features a Puerto Rican ten-string cuatro, acoustic cello and piano, with an electronic bass, creating the perfect backdrop for Maritxell’s sultry yet passionate vocals.

“Corazón” is a collaboration with long-time friend and Grammy®-nominated musician and producer Jose "Sapo" Gonzalez, perhaps most notably known for being Daddy Yankee's Musical Director. The passion project features Sapo's refreshingly live arrangements, while the songstress lends her inspired lyrics and soulful melodies. The two share production credits.
