CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description SAVAE's "La Noche Buena" recording takes listeners on a delightful, and often unexpected, musical journey into the colonial cathedrals of the Spanish frontier. Adventuresome 16th & 17th-century composers blended the melodies, rhythms and dialects of indigenous Aztecs, Maya, and Incas- with those of Spanish Catholic missionaries and West African laborers to create unique Christmas music for The New World. The Nativity story is told here through music that captures the lively cultural exchange of an unprecedented era when the voices of Native Americans, African Slaves, and Spanish Conquerors were raised together in celebration of the birth of Jesus.

CD Reviews"Year's Best" says Express-News Covita Moroney | San Antonio, TX | 12/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Wed. Dec. 7 edition, SA Life section, page 4G " SAVAE, La Noche Buena Drum roll, please. The best Christmas album of the year is a dark horse from our own ranks, and we can almost guarantee you've never heard these songs before. The San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble has excavated 16th and 17th century century songs by Spanish, Portuguese and indigenous New World composers in Latin, European, African, and American Indian languages. The seven singers also play the instruments, usually percussion but also guitar and recorders. Lovely, lively stuff." by Michael Barrett special to the Express-News" Amazon has this in stock! savae | San Antonio, TX | 12/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Despite what the product info above says, amazon.com does have this in stock (our record label has been shipping them bulk orders every few days)." I'm Dreaming of a Colonial Christmas. T. A. Strand | Healdsburg, CA | 01/11/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "As a resident of the Philippines, I got this CD to revel in our shared Spanish colonial past and have delighted myself and my friends with frequent playings. I was already familiar with SAVAE's 'Guadalupe' discs and their wonderful evocation of the multicultural music of Aztec, Renaissance and Baroque Mexico. This production continues that unique sound and adds the rhythms of Africa. A worthy addition to anyone's Christmas and/or Period Music collection. Come to think of it, it's fun to listen to without any labels! SAVAE: Come on over and do the same for our Hispanic heritage on this side of the Pacific!"
