Founded on the feelings of duality between bad and good, bitter and sweet, grief and love, and death and rebirth, Malegría is a contemporary celebration and continuation of wide-reaching cultural traditions. From Congolese, Peruvian, and Colombian rhythms to revolutionary artists like lesbian guitarist-singer Chavela Vargas, these influences meld and are remixed through the distinctive lens of Fabi Reyna. Malegría traverses themes including queer love, feminine sensuality, and the transformative power of intentional relations to the earth while spotlighting narratives oen pushed to the margins, offering them a sonic homeland.

Praise for Malegría
“[Reyna Tropical has] embodied the word tropical to its very core, with breezy beats, upbeat guitar riffs, and psychedelic electro-cumbia sounds”
— Rolling Stone
“Fabi Reyna’s touch is so nimble — yet so tactile — on six strings. It’s the kind of guitar play that feels like play, as if her sunny melodies could suddenly release a flock of vibrantly colored birds at any moment.”
— NPR Music
“ʻCartagena,ʼ[ . . . ]replicates the atmosphere of its titular Colombian seaside city with a sweet guitar refrain thatʼs buoyed by a blend of bouncy drum machine and hand-slapped percussion, a breezy bass line, and other subtle, sun-drenched ephemera.”
— The FADER
