“Llego Diciembre” is a vibrant Christmas single that blends the Latin sounds of New York City with the joyful heartbeat of Puerto Rican parranda music. Rooted in nostalgia and cultural pride, the song celebrates the places, people, and traditions that shape who we are.
Now based in Los Angeles and raised in New York City, Cinnamon La Canela draws inspiration from the legendary sounds of La Fania, Willie Colón’s Asalto Navideño, and the rich musical heritage of the Latin communities that defined NYC. “Llego Diciembre” pays homage to the masters who created this timeless holiday style while bringing a fresh, modern twist for today’s listeners.
The track features the warm tones of the Puerto Rican cuatro, lively congas, a fiery piano montuno, festive coros, a swinging bass, and powerful horn lines—all brought together in an international collaboration of musicians from New Jersey, Orlando, Ecuador, Cuba, Venezuela, and Tampa, Florida.
Written and produced by Chris Holder and performed by Cinnamon La Canela, “Llego Diciembre” invites audiences to celebrate, reminisce, and dance through the holiday season with sabor, alegría, and cultural connection.
Release Date: Thanksgiving Day
Available on all streaming platforms.
This original was composed by Cinnamon La Canela on a sunny LA day.
“Driving toward the sunrise on the 134 in LA I was reminded of the challenging day the night before and
the truth that no matter what challenges yesterday brought, today we gives us a new day with Beautiful Sunrises.” La Canela
Starting with a lullaby tune “Beautiful Sunrise, beautiful sunrise it’s a beautiful beautiful sunrise…” , the remaining lyrics emerged days later.
”Over the hillside and under the blue sky there’s a beautiful sunrise. Just you wait and see, today is gonna be the most amazing day…”
