Ramirez - Misa Criolla; Navidad nuestra

by: José Sacin, Pablo Talamante, Joseph Holt

Release Date January 30, 2006
This is an awful version of Missa Criolla and Navidad Nuestra. It sounds like someone decided they wanted to do a Barry Manilow version. To see what it should be like look for "Misa Criolla - Misa Flamenca".

Alternatively, there's a Jose Carreras version which is a reasonable attempt. But not this. It's a total travesty of beautiful music.
