Feliz Navidad is one of the most iconic and recognizable Holiday tunes. The song was written and first recorded in 1970 by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano. I thought it would make a great song to try my hand at Reggae and Latin beats. I enjoyed blending in the sounds of the islands (steel drums reggae-style) with the very fast and articulate Latin rhythm beats.
