José Feliciano is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his bilingual Christmas classic “Feliz Navidad” by releasing a new version featuring Jason Mraz, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Shaggy and more.
Pop balladeer Michael Bolton, Latin boy band CNCO, country duo Big & Rich, and Mexican singer and actress Patricia Manterola are among the 30 acts who teamed up remotely for the reimagined track, which is being released today by Amazon Music.
The 75-year-old Puerto Rican singer-songwriter said that back in 1970, he never imagined the song’s catchy but minimalist lyrics — just six words in Spanish, 14 in English — would become a holiday standard.
