Feliz Navidad

Experience Christmas warmth in a new way with Torben Westergaard’s elegant bossa nova rendition of the timeless classic Feliz Navidad.

Rarely recorded as an instrumental, this fresh interpretation features five internationally acclaimed musicians in Latin jazz and folklore: harmonica virtuoso Hendrik Meurkens (NL/DE), Argentine guitarist Ernesto Snajer, pianist Dario Eskenazi, Brazilian percussionist Rogerio Boccato, and Danish bassist and composer Torben Westergaard.

Their elegant interplay transforms José Feliciano’s beloved 1970 Christmas song into a festive yet soulful instrumental journey—perfect for adding a warm, sophisticated touch to the holiday season.
