Feliz Navidad
"Feliz Navidad" is a Christmas song written in 1970 by the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano.[1] With its simple Spanish chorus (the traditional Christmas/New Year greeting, "Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad" or "Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year" and equally simple English verse "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart", it has become a classic Christmas pop song in the United States, the Philippines, Canada and throughout the Spanish-speaking world.
Feliciano's version of "Feliz Navidad" (in which he plays both an acoustic guitar and a Puerto Rican cuatro) is one of the most downloaded and aired Christmas songs in the United States and Canada. The addition of the horns as a final touch was the idea of producer Rick Jarrard. It was also recognized by ASCAP as one of the top 25 most played and recorded Christmas songs around the world.
"Feliz Navidad" has been covered by many other artists including Celine Dion, David Hasselhoff, Moby (on his album Moby Presents: Alien Sex Party), El Vez, Jon Secada, Fenix TX, Home Grown, the ska-punk band Voodoo Glow Skulls, the Von Trapp Children, Anca Parghel, The Wiggles, 1910 Fruitgum Company, and Michael Bublé. The best known version in the UK and Europe is the cover by the disco group Boney M on their Christmas Album released in 1981.
