Viral poet and author Melania Luisa releases her new single “Matatana” along with the music video as she transitions from poetry to musical projects

The theme of the video is a raw performance of Matatana in the studio located in Santiago, Dominican Republic where Melania recorded the song with a spirit of freedom. The repetition of the phrase “matatana sin rival” in the song truly embodies the idea that our singularity and uniqueness is our superpower and that when we allow ourselves to take up space and be bold we become part of a bigger ecosystem of sisterhood and womanhood that supports one another because we are all wanting to see each other’s best and brightest versions. 

Matatana is a common term used in the Dominican Republic to describe rebellious women. In Melania’s own words, “To me, a matatana is a bold and brave woman. She’s confident, she’s sharp and she doesn’t let anyone or anything get in the way of her vision for her life and her self-love. A Matatana is unapologetic and expressive. She takes no sh!t and gives no f*cks! You can’t play her because she is always one step ahead and she´s too busy thriving to ever let you see her sweat.”

About, writing and releasing “Matatana,” Melania says, “I hope this song inspires young women to take up space and love every bit of their uniqueness. I want to continue spreading messages of love and support for each other. To understand that sisterhood is a love we all need to nourish within ourselves first and then with each other. Matatanas de aqui pal mundo!”
