You loved SAVAE's bestselling recording Ancient Echoes, now enjoy their latest release, an authentic re-creation of the first Christmas music of the Americas! Celebrations of Christmas Eve (La Noche Buena&sbquo, in Spanish) were spectacular events in the cathedrals of Colonial Latin America. Nativity plays featured lively music influenced by that of the Aztec and Maya indigenous Americans, as well as the rhythms of the African laborers. The diverse dialects, rhythms, and melodies on SAVAE's Christmas recording capture the lively cultural exchange between Spanish and Native Latin American musicians of New Spain. This music was the first Christmas music composed on American soil for the first American converts to Christianity. A unique and special holiday gift for any music lover!
