We’re not kidding – here’s a whole album of BRAVE COMBO performing their uniquely mutated versions of your favorite and soon-to-be-favorite holiday songs! Originally recorded for a Japanese label, the album was so much fun that Rounder Records couldn’t help but release it in the states. Brave Combo’s ingenious musical juxtapositions capture the holiday spirit at its merriest – imagine a ska arrangement of “The Christmas Song,” or “O, Christmas Tree” as a samba.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everybody – we hope you enjoy singing and dancing along.
