Katia Cardenal - Ven a mi casa esta navidad

Katia’s Christmas spirit in Spanish

Christmas can be both melancholy, cosy and filled with seasonal spirit. All these moods are present on Katia Cardenal’s new Christmas recording in Spanish. But in addition, she adds a much stronger element of joy and festivity than is usual in our corner of the world. In Latin America, people celebrate
Christmas in the streets and in the village square, and this is much in evidence on ”Ven a mi casa esta navidad”. You can dance your way through Katia’s Christmas celebration! 

Having said that, the more famous Christmas carols such as Silent Night (Noche de paz), Adeste Fideles and Mary’s Boychild are included. But in addition, we find rich and colourful elements of what is considered the typical Christmas spirit south of the Rio Grande. Christmas songs from Nicaragua,
Katia’s homeland, Bolivia etc. Katia’s brother, Salvador Cardenal, is brought in as a new element on this recording. He has also illustrated the cover in unmistakable Latin American colours.

The famous Cuban photographer Alberto Corda (the man behind the picture of Che Guevara) has also
contributed to the record. His portrait of Katia Cardenal in front of the figure of Christ that guards Havana
harbour forms part of the cover.
