The saint being kissed and serenaded in the first part of this video is not the Virgin Mary and thus not a Black Madonna. It is Saint Sarah, an apocryphal servant of Mary Jacobe who fled with her mistress from Egypt to what is now Saintes Maries de la Mer in France. She is a patron of gypsies with interesting links back to Kali. There are also interesting corollaries to the Black Virgin phenomenon but she isn't the best way to lead into a video on the topic, in my opinion.
