Time for a little various artist action in our Spanish speaking extravaganza today. Having tracks from different artists can help to give a more varied listening experience, I think, and I find that I enjoy the Spanish-language compilations a little more than the single artist collections. Perhaps that's just because I haven't found the right artist yet. Anyhow, I'm just blathering on about nothing. Here's part two of a compilation that I have not seen a part one of. Keep an eye out and let me know if you find the other one. This is
Fiestas Navideñas (Melodias Navideñas Vol. 2) (Seeco SCLP-9185, Mono).
1. Claudio Ferrer-Santo Nombre De Jesús
2. Claudio Ferrer-A Mi Puerto Rico
3. La Calandria-Brindis
4. Bobby Capó-Alegre Navidad
5. Conjunto Tipico Ladi-Trullas De Navidad
6. Daniel Santos-A Los Santos Reyes
7. Claudio Ferrer-Aguinaldo De Las Flores
8. La Calandria-Felicitación
9. Daniel Santos-Romance Del Campesino
10. Bobby Capó-Le Lo Lay
11. La Calandria-Parrandeando

Wow- some old Puerto Rican classics here. I'd have to say my favorite here is Bobby Capo - especially “Alegre Navidad”. It captures some of the best elements of Puerto Rican folk music, including the famous ‘le lo lay’ phrases. He also recorded the Christmas classic “De Las Montañas Venimos”, which unfortunately is not on this record. Thanks for this Ernie!

I've actually heard of Bobby Capo, but I couldn't tell you where. Maybe I shared out something of his elsewhere, maybe I have a CD of his music somewhere. Not sure, but I know of the name.
