Miami.- Singer-songwriter Camilo and his wife Evaluna released this Thursday 'Christmas on Every Corner', a "joyful and moving" song that fuses salsa rhythms and Latin warmth and mixes the ways of living this season in the United States and Latin America.
"Our version of 'Christmas on Every Corner' mixes the Christmas spirit of Colombia and Venezuela with Christmas in the United States," stated the Colombian artist, winner of three Grammy Awards for Best Latin Pop Album, in a statement.
Camilo added that Christmas is celebrated in Latin America with "a lot of movement, it's noisy, there's dancing", while in the United States "it's about being comfortable because it's cold".
This song, which reinvents the Christmas classic 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' with a Spanish touch, unites both Christmas experiences, in the words of the singer.
The song combines tropical percussion, piano, and cheerful winds, and thanks to the chemistry between Camilo and Evaluna, it creates "a timeless, joyful sound full of good humor."
Both have participated in numerous events this year, such as the singer's 'Our Happy Place' tour, which culminated last June in Colombia after passing through Spain, Mexico, and other Latin American countries.
