Adobe Christmas
Released: December 2005
Label: Talking Taco & RRM

 

Just as adobe has served as the predominate building block of the desert southwest for centuries, Ruben Romero's Adobe Christmas is an enlightened, fun-filled musical journey for all seasons. Perennial favorites share the stage with original compositions that embody the diverse musical culture unique to the American Southwest. An impassioned celebration of hope & peace, Adobe Christmas evokes imageries of Christmas' celebrated long ago, yet transports us through today and many love-filled tomorrows.

 

From the CD notes:
A magical music box, Adobe Christmas reflects the solo-mastery of Romero and an inspired blend of classical and flamenco guitar with haunting Native American flute, chants, and percussion.
