Cubanocast

What a find! I was looking for Cuban Christmas music (slim pickin's) when I stumbled upon this fantastic collection of Christmas music from Colombia. The disc is divided into traditional Spanish Christmas music geared towards children and and the funky, devout, original songs I present to you today.

Navidad Colombiana - Para Cantar Y Bailar La Novena De Aguinaldos

First, the truly Super Banda:

Ven Ven by Super Banda:

Paranda de Navidad by Super Banda:

Follow up:

I wouldn't normally include remakes of English carols, but this version of Drummer boy is terrific:

El Tamborilero by Javier Martinez nad Lucy Hinestro:

What a joyous sound! The trumpets are fabulous. The singer reminds me a little of Willy Chirino.

El Seis Chorreao by Batido House:

I don't agree that poor people have a less festive Christmas than rich people, but who cares about root-causes when the music sounds this good?

Cantares de Navidad:

Diciembre Azul:

It has nothing to do with Elvis' Blue Christmas, by the way.

What a bella song for a bella season:

Bella es la Navidad from Grupo con Sabor:

Finally, Aires de Navidad from Latinos band. Kind of a normal song until that guitar kicks in. Then, Cubanocast worthy. A Jibaro is a Puerto Rican from the country, analogous to a Cuban Guajiro.

Aires de Navidad:
