The Santa Muerte are from Mola di Bari, a small fishing village a few kilometers from Bari, where there is a beautiful Angevin castle and a small historic center that is a little gem. It doesn’t offer much, especially in winter. The small pier is populated by cats; you can see them waiting on the dock for the return of fishing boats after a day at sea, hoping to snag some fish discarded by the fishermen.
This little seaside place has given birth to this group that I love very much (I swear I don't love them just for the name...). In a few days, their second album will be released, preceded by the single Back to Mexico. Who knows if they have ever been to Mexico. Or maybe, immersed in the Bari countryside in summer, among the olive trees and the red earth, listening to their warm and psychedelic music with closed eyes, one can dream of being in Mexico..
