La Parranda Fania, various artists (Fania/Universal)

fania.jpgFrom 2007, this is a two-disc bargain compilation of Christmas songs recorded by Latin and Spanish artists going back several decades. Salsa, Afro-Cuban, Latin jazz and soul, you name it, it's here. Yes, it's not quite rock, but it's great stuff to listen to. Whether this fits your conception of Christmas probably depends on whether you understand Spanish -- otherwise you might flip out your holiday guests with a full evening of south of the border dance music. Those of you who follow this music might recognize such performers as Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe -- in fact, those two combine for several tunes here -- plus Johnny Ventura, Cheo Feliciano, Ramito, Sonora Poncena, Ismael Rivera, Santitos Colon, and more.
