A unique sound experience for the Christmas season, combining the classic spirit of Christmas with the melody of the iconic “On Feel the Noize” by the American rock group, Quiet Riot and the powerful Afro-Caribbean rhythms that characterize their style. The song, now available on all streaming platforms, is a direct invitation to dance and celebrate while the end-of-year festivities are ignited.
The album “3” is distinguished by being a cultural and sonic manifesto that redefines Latin fusion: it takes eleven immortal anthems of classic rock and meticulously transforms them into vibrant salsa numbers, Cuban son and Puerto Rican plena.
The performance of “Llegó Santa Claus” is a testament to the orchestra’s ability to fuse seemingly disparate genres, demonstrating the universality of Latin music.
Under the direction of executive producer Raúl Eliza and musical director Manolo Navarro, Conciencia Clásica reaffirms its mastery of transforming iconic melodies into vibrant, complex and contemporary pieces.
“We want ‘Santa Claus Arrived’ to resonate in every home, bringing the joy and energy of salsa to these holidays. It is our way of connecting with Puerto Rico and the world with a festive message full of flavor, demonstrating that salsa has the versatility to celebrate any moment and transform any melody,” said the group.
