{"product_id":"navidad-cubana","title":"Navidad Cubana","description":"Amazon.com\n\nDanilo Lozano, who heads this outfit, is a flautist, musicologist, educator, and founding member of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Unlike Putumayo's holiday compilation, which mostly spotlights local holiday traditions from warm-weather areas, this studio-live set refreshes and galvanizes traditional Eurocentric carols via jazzy, purely Cuban treatments. If the idea of \"Let It Snow\" switching its saccharine little tale to a clavé beat is somewhat startling, it works surprisingly well here. Such favorites as \"Good King Wensaslas,\" \"Silent Night,\" \"The Little Drummer Boy,\" \"Jingle Bells,\" and \"Hark the Herald Angels Sing\" (the latter merged with quotations from \"A Summer Place\"!) swing as never before in elegant son montuno, rumba, Afro-Cuban, and charanga settings. If the concept is mildly tongue-in-cheek, the musicianship is anything but. The arrangements are consistently inventive and the players generate enough heat to convert a howling blizzard into a sultry steam bath. --Christina Roden\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00004WFOB\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00004WFOB.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cuba L.A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
