I have a suggestion for your Christmas this year, at least if you live in Venezuela. Do yourself a favor and get this strange compilation
"Navidades Venezolanas". Apparently somebody had the good idea to get the copyrights (buy? steal? we are in Venezuela after all) of some of the best known Venezuelan Christmas music. The real stuff for us, no Silent Night or Jingle bells here! The version chosen might not be the best ones (I question at least one medley) but the overall result is very, very satisfying (including the
Nancy Ramos version of Guanaguanare).
You get Burrito Sabanero, El Niño Jesus Llanero, Corre Caballito (one of the greatest Xmas song ever if you ask me, by the unmatched and unmatchable Serenata Guayanesa), the now classical Niño Lindo, etc...
And of course, as you shop get the Christmas album
El Cuarteto en NocheBuena of a few years ago.
THE BEST Xmas album in any country. OK, I am prejudiced but try to prove me wrong. (
already reviewed here in 2004).
