Nope, all new to me. Mr. AE just left to walk the dog, still singing it, haha!! Must bring magical memories to those who grew up with it.

Lol! I didn't grow up with it but the colmado I used to live across from when I first moved to the DR would put it non-stop from November to January and on the local radio and stores you hear it a lot during Xmas time. Here are a few more he'll enjoy (all very recent as you'll see lol):

I think I have heard this song today around 100 times. Love it.

Well, I guess that makes it official - I'm the only one who never heard it before, hahahaha!

We've never been in DR for Christmas - ever - in 40 years, so that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!!!

El burrito de Bel?n

Today my friend Tracy posted this link on Facebook, about Christmas in DR. When I got to this page [click around, lots of links], I clicked on the video for 'Mi burrito sabanera', a song I'd never heard before. For 3 minutes, Mr. AE was 5 again, now he's singing it to the dog.

El Burrito de Bel?n
is a 1972 Venezuelan Christmas carol very popular throughout Latin Am?rica.

There is even a bachata version, for the lovers of that Dominican rhythm:

HaHa. I have a picture of my 6th birthday where my aunt is handing me the long play to Mi Burrito Sabanero.
