About Feliz Navidad#
Jose Feliciano wrote this in 1970, and it has been on the radio every December since. The Puerto Rican singer built it from a handful of words in Spanish and one plain wish in English, wanting a Christmas song that both sides of his audience could sing together. There is not much more to the lyric, which is part of why it sticks.
On a 6-hole ocarina the verse is easy, but the “I wanna wish you” section climbs to a high E near the top of the instrument’s range. That jump up is the spot to practice. The lower “Feliz Navidad” phrases give your fingers an easy home to return to.
