We are also featuring the entire album of Christmas music by Robert Mirabal. The album "Pueblo Christmas" won Mirabal "Best Male Artist" of the Year at the Native American Music Awards with the album also nominated for "Record of the Year." The album includes the rock infused "Green Chili Christmas" a contemporary song celebrating the Southwest Pueblos during the winter months and "Christmas Eve" about an old Taos Pueblo man who returns to the Christmas Eve celebration after being gone for many years, both originally poems by Robert Mirabal set to music.
Mirabal took the time to research "Classic American Christmas Carols", their origin, the time period in which they were written and what was going on in the world during that time. His research became "Pueblo Christmas" filled with an array of classic American Christmas carols. All of the songs on the album were specifically arranged using an array of Native flutes, tribal percussions and cello; and all were recorded at Taos Pueblo, New Mexico. A must have for any collector of Christmas music.
"People ask me why I've made a Christmas album after all the struggles between Indigenous People and Christianity." says Mirabal. My answer is I needed to address the contradictions. Our Native religion is based on Nature, and is a 24/7, 365-day spiritual concept, but then there is a Catholic church on the corner. For many Americans, Christmas is a time when they become conscious of their spirituality, and I wanted to connect our cultures at this special time." No matter what the politics were like when these songs were first heard, the music was created to fill the listener with love, hope and joy. They show that beauty can go beyond conflict to a place where music is the hero." As you listen, remember that many of these songs became popular during the 19th century, a time of great change in America. This wasn't the music of the governments and armies, but the popular music of the people, beautiful, uplifting and inspiring.
