Canciones de Nochebuena is a choral Christmas cantata that weaves together Hispanic culturally-Catholic songs (villancicos), reflecting the mix of Indigenous, African, and European influences found in post-colonial Latin American mestizo culture. Additionally, this cantata incorporates elements that speak to the current diaspora in the USA, including bilingual English/Spanish lyrics, Latin Jazz percussion, and Classical/Folk fusion. These create a unique blend, a mestizaje, that celebrates Latiné identity’s multiple influences.
The Spanish verses of Canciones de Nochebuena draw from familiar tunes tied to specific regions, each narrating a segment of the nativity story; poetically translated by David García Saldaña.
