Merry Christmas in English and Spanish: “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano

Spanish just has the best-sounding names. Jose Feliciano. Antonio Banderas. They just roll off the tongue.

And “Feliz Navidad” is just a really cool way to say “Merry Christmas.”

Feliciano had become a Latin music star with songs sung mostly in Spanish. He recently told NPR that he included English in this song, partly because he wanted it to be played widely on the radio, but partly to show Hispanics “… not to feel like they will lose their identity if they learn to speak English. And that's why I did "Feliz Navidad" in both languages.”

“Feliz Navidad” is available for free download from Freegal.
