A Brasilian Christmas

Traditional Christmas songs are turned into Brazilian bossa nova-flavored music on this enjoyable Holiday album. A Brasilian Christmas is like a who’s-who in Brazilian music. Joyce, Dori Caymmi, Ivan Lins, Leo Gandelman, Gilson Peranzzetta, Oscar Castro-Neves, Ricardo Silveira, Toninho Horta, and João Bosco all add their talents to a classic Brazilian recording. Their treatments of Christmas tunes, including "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Silent Night," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and "Jingle Bells," are tasteful and lightly grooving. Christmas in Brazil if you cannot be there during the holiday season.
