Quoted from a review of Navajo Christmas, " On Navajo Christmas, the Todi Neesh Zhee Singers & Friends do something I had never previously experienced. They interpret classic Christmas chestnuts such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as traditional Navajo song-and-dance pieces, and the result is mesmerizing. The TNZ Singers also present four social dance songs, and the final four cuts provide more familiar singing on well-loved holiday pieces with lyrics sometimes in English, sometimes in Navajo."

    I love this music. There is something very moving and powerful about Native American songs and spirit connections. I had not yet been introduced to Christmas music in this genre. Many thanks for bringing this into my New Year.

    Beautiful! O Holy Night has always been my favorite song ever written! I loved listening to it in Navaho! It still makes me cry :) Such a beautiful talent and lovely strong voice! I also loved the accompaniment. Just gorgeous! I do believe that young woman has true natural talent and I am more than impressed! A real gift from God!

    Oh, I love this Native American Christmas Music. I have a Christmas CD by a Canadian Inuit singer - Susan Aglukark - that is one of my favorites. I will have to consider expanding my collection. Blessed.

    The lens is indeed an eye opener. Native American musical interpretation of Christmas. I have listened to some samples. This is beautiful.

    One thing I would like to see on this lens is interviews with one of two of these musicians and why they do these, how they interpret them. Interviews on video clips would be awesome.

    hadn't listened to these previously, thanks for the opportunity, sure earned a 'thumbs up' from this avid listener.
