Llegó Navidad is a 2019 Christmas album from American Chicano rock band Los Lobos. The album is a diverse collection of songs that has received commercial and critical success.
Recording and release
Rhino Records approached the band with the prospect of recording a studio album,[2] which was an idea they had debated before, without recording one.[3] Los Lobos reached out to song collectors and friends to gather a body of music that included 147 Latin Christmas songs, spanning several decades and the entirety of the Americas, across genres or styles as diverse as cumbia, cancion, ranchera, salsa, son jarocho, and Tex-Mex styles.[3][4]
Reception
Critical reception
The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide scored this album 4.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Mark Deming calling this a "fresh and interesting" take on standard Christmas albums that includes diverse styles and genres that displays the "passion, skill, and joy" that the band has fostered for decades.[4] In The Arts Desk, Russ Coffey rated Llegó Navidad three out of five stars, noting that the band mixes not only genres but also moods that range from serious to silly.[5]
Sales chart performance
Llegó Navidad was the first top 10 album on the Billboard charts in 19 years, debuting at eight on the Latin Pop Albums chart.[6]
