‘Santo y Elegía’: Out February 9th
France-based Mexican artist Manuel Polin’s upcoming release Santo y Elegía launches his debut EP Llanto Santo and introduces audiences to his emotional lyricism, ambient sounds and nostalgic visuals.
The song’s lo-fi soundscapes, produced by Noah Georgeson, prompt a spiritual introspection that is characteristic to the EP’s tone. A music video created in collaboration with French filmmaker Myrtille Moniot features the Mexican Bajío town of Mineral de Pozos and draws from iconic cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa, known for filming Mexican landscapes in black and white.
Ahead of the single’s drop, Manuel defines Santo y Elegía as, “a heartfelt invitation to listeners, guiding them on a spiritual journey that captures the essence of human emotions in their purest form.”
