Not forsaking the original, but an intoxicating performance

"Ask for a beloved Christmas song and I'll guarantee that the traditional classic -- "Feliz Navaidad" -- by Jose Feliciano will be named among the top 25 most-played Christmas songs on both Spanish and American Rock & Roll music stations! However, when I heard this rendition of "Feliz Navidad" by John Secada, it not only "revitized" my worn out musical spirits, but brought to life a much-desired nostaglic glow and grace to the old classic by Feliciano. John Sacada's melodious tones and Latin Salsa tempos have a definite enduring appeal. He has turned this classic into his own work of art. It has definitely become one of my favorites and a "must-play" for all my future family-Christmas holiday celebrations, but of course -- along with Feliciano's version, which I will always play and treasure foremost!"

Get this CD!

"This is an awesome CD! I much prefer it to its English counterpart, though both are must-haves. Secada delivers these Christmas classics beautifully with his instantly recognizable pristine voice and wonderful arrangements with Latin rhythm influence. My favourites are Contigo, Cascabel and, above all, Va a Nevar. Give these tracks a good listen and you will want to hear them again and again. To Jon-- Feliz Navidad and muchas gracias!"
