Santeria is the firstcollaborative studio album by Italian rappersMarracash andGuè, released on June 24, 2016 byUniversal Music Group. As longtime friends, the album serves as a follow-up to some underground joint mixtapes and a series of collaborative songs on their respective albums.
On January 4, 2016, through social networks, the two rappers have revealed their intention to make an album together;[1] in the past,Marracash andGuè Pequeno have worked together on various songs, includingFattore wow (in the albumMarracash 2008),Big! andBrivido (present respectively in the albumsIl ragazzo d'oro andBravo ragazzo by Pequeno).[2]
The album was recorded inTenerife,Trancoso andMilan.[3] The on June 7, the two rappers revealed the cover of the album, made by theColombianvisual artist Armando Mesìas, and also the title and the track list of the album.[4]
During an interviewGuè Pequeno revealed that the album was designed to be "a real hip-hop record, with a very black sound, being culturally of high level, not something done to chase the Italian mainstream or the fads".[5] The production of the album spaces fromtrap toold school beats, and it was praised for having an international sound, mixing various ages ofhip hop.[6]
In the album there are several songs that tell directly the vision of the life and music of the two rappers, having at the same time ironic and soft songs that, with a lucid and sharp criticism, criticize today's social and musical aspects. Among the topics covered are more disaffection among young people, the different faces of success and false ideals to which it sells off the art.[7][8]
