World Cafe Playlist for 12/25/2019
Los Lobos join host Raina Douris
Los Lobos went through nearly 150 Christmas-related songs from North, South and Central America to pick what to cover on their first ever holiday album called Llegó Navidad. In the end, they narrowed it down to 11 and wrote one new song. Hear them play live and share how they created a Christmas album that will make you want to get up and dance like no other on the next World Cafe.
