Minage

Minage is a tribute album by Spanish singer Mónica Naranjo, released in 2000 by Epic Records. It was produced by Cristóbal Sansano, a longtime collaborator of Naranjo. Recording took place between 1999 and 2000 in studios across Spain and Italy. The project was conceived as a personal and artistic tribute to Naranjo’s favorite singer, the Italian icon Mina, and consists entirely of Spanish-language covers of Mina’s songs.

The album was created following a serious airplane accident that forced Naranjo to take a break from her career and delayed the release of a more commercial follow-up album, which the label had envisioned as a sequel to Palabra de Mujer. At the time, Naranjo was widely regarded as one of the most prominent and influential female pop artists in Spain, often compared to Madonna in terms of her vocal power, public image, and impact on the Spanish music scene.
