Jessie Jacobs and Luis Antonio Perez, co-host of CPR's podcast "Music Blocks here, with a Christmas adventure through Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico and more in “Feliz Navidad.”
Christmas is a big deal in many Latin American countries, which gives us a wealth of Latin American Christmas music to enjoy on CPR Classical this season. In “Feliz Navidad,” join us for mariachi, Afro-Cuban music and salsa, and learn the stories behind beloved Latin American Christmas music.
Not only will you hear Latin American versions of familiar Christmas tunes like "Jingle Bells" and Tchaikovsky’s "Waltz of the Flowers," but listen for musical traditions from across the region — like “El Burrito de Belén.”
