Album DescriptionThe members of the group Strada are fervent fans of Mediterranean music, which is often widely travelled and marked by the influence of the Middle Ages. It is while I was researching the vast repertoire of this street and festive music that the theme of Christmas clearly imposed itself. In 1994, and again in 1995, we produced a concert entitled "Le Noël des Santons" conceived around the story of Christmas as told in different European countries over a period of five centuries. I soon discovered that there exist many little-known ancient carols.
