I don't think I spend enough time here on the blog with foreign (non-USA) Christmas music. For one thing, it's not very common here in the US, and when I do find some, it's often hard to get into and I loose interest in it quickly. But when I found this record of Christmas music from Spain and shared it out back in
2008, I was pleasantly surprised. There's very little here in the way of recognizable Christmas songs, but I really enjoyed it and listened to it often. If that sounds like something you'd like to try, please be my guest and download

As I listened, I realized that I must have downloaded and deleted it once before. It didn't take long to remember why I had moved on...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am sure there is someone out there who will love this one! Thanks so much for spinning up my Christmas spirit!
I'm game to try it. I love unfamilia foreign Christmas music. Though I can't understand what's being sung, I usually still love the melodies. Any foreign offerings will be gobbled up for sure. Thanks for this one.
