This tune is called Hoy es Día de Placer and appears on the album La Noche Buena: Christmas Music of Colonial Latin America by San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble (SAVAE).
The recording takes listeners on an intriguing and often unexpected musical journey into the cathedrals of the Spanish colonial frontier. The Nativity story is told here through music that captures the lively cultural exchange between Indigenous, African, and Spanish voices. European motets appear alongside Afro-Spanish guarachas on the recording.
