Malentina, affectionately known as The Mambo Queen of the South, is a singer, songwriter, actress, writer, and producer from Ponce, Puerto Rico. Now based in Lafayette, Louisiana, she blends the bold glamour of old Hollywood with the rhythms of 70s Latin club music, burlesque flair, and the rich cultural tapestry of both her island roots and Southern surroundings. Her sultry sound fuses classic Latin music with contemporary references, creating a style that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new. Beyond the stage, Malentina is also a film producer, blogger, and cultural advocate, using her voice and projects to champion the social value of the arts and amplify diverse stories. She is currently working on her debut self-titled album, Malentina—a vibrant introduction to her genre-bending world.
