!- What people say about this CD:

-If you like "Christmas Parrandas" youll love this festive Latin Christmas song collection! -

This CD is so good everyone should play it regardless of what language they speak. To me it is an instant Holiday Classic like Vince Guaraldis A Charlie Brown Christmas or A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector. Its that good! The Daily Hampshire Gazzette Northampton,Massachusetts

Ive played the CD over and over .. What a festive , fun CD! Its just great! Susan Norris, Hadley, MA

I love the Puerto Rican Christmas music, and for
this reason I have to say that I like this CD the best of all of your CDs
thus far. Brandon Marger -World Music Director & host of "Afro Roots" - WMUA 91.1 FM Amherst, MA

Feliz Navidad Boricua - Though you may cling to Bing when it comes to celebrating the Christmas season, Puerto Rican cuatro maestro, Jose Gonzalez and Banda Criolla offer one toe-tapping, bum wiggling alternative. No foreign language skills are required here. Simply trade in a couple offa la las for le lo lais, grab a fruity rum drink and let this ten track fiesta turn a tree trimming into a flamenco-stomping, air casteneting romp across the cultural divide. No strangers to Southern New Englands world music enthusiasts, Western Massachusetts based Gonzalez and his band have already released more than a fistful of Puerto Rican and Caribbean spiced CDs.- Liz Vannah- The Valley Advocate, Massachusetts Dec 04
-P.S. Es el mejor disco de esta temporada navidea ac en Puerto Rico! Mucho exito y adelante con tu musica de altura. Dr. M. Fucile,Corozal,P.R

-Esta buenisimo! .. . Es mas, ese va a ser mi regalo de Navidad para varias personas. Iris Rivera- Las Piedras, Puerto Rico

Jos Gonzlez y Banda Criolla regresan con "Feliz Navidad Boricua!", en el que se hace plausible el amor que el msico siente por su patria.
"La llamada a Santa Cls", "Todo lo que pido", "Dnde vas cardelanito?", "Bella es la Isla", "Otra Navidad que viene" son algunas de las melodas que colman este trabajo, en el que sobresale el sabor del cuatro y la guitarra.

Fantastic CD ! I think it is great!.. Fantastic CD I think it is super! Johnny Memphis WRSI Daily Hampshire Gazzette

Estimado amigo Gonzalez: Soy fanatico de tu musica por lo que me interesa obtener alguno de los primeros discos en formato de CD,que son verdaderos clasicos. Vivi 13 aos alla fueraen Phila.1969-1982 durante la epoca del renacimiento cultural boricua.Fueron muchas las parrandas que dimos alla y hasta presentaciones con un grupito que teniamos de "nueva cancion".Hoy trato de inculcarle esta musica a mis nietos.Y le voy a estar mandando tu disco de Navidad a mis nietos y sobrinos alla ya que contiene un mensaje bonito y el toque "bilingue" es muy apropiado para la generacion de hoy,en especial parael que se cria alla...le da un "espacio" y reconoce su realidad ademas de defender nuestra identidad. Mucho exito y adelante con tu musica de altura. Dr. M. Fucile,Corozal,P.R.
P.S. Es el mejor disco de esta temporada navidea ac.

Estimado Jos:

Hoy (mejor anoche al celebrar la Noche Buena) recibimos tu ms reciente CD
sobre msica navidea. Estoy completamente de acuerdo con uno de tus oyentes:
es la mejor grabacin de msica puertorriquea navidea en este ao y, me
atrevo agregar, en muchos aos anteriores. Te felicito por ello. Gracias por
compartir la hermosa experiencia con el soldado boricua de viaje a Puerto
Rico. Vivimos tiempos peligrosos pero s que hay simiente de paz aunque la
oscuridad, todava, sea tan real tanto en Estados Unidos como en Puerto Rico.

Saludos a ti y a toda tu familia.

Roberto Alejandro
