Cantemos Con Alegría is a sparkling Venezuelan Christmas anthem that invites everyone to celebrate the season with pure happiness. The lyrics paint a vibrant scene of people welcoming the baby Jesus, singing the Ave María, and letting the joyful sound of bells fill the night. It is a call to gather as a community, lift your voice in song, and feel the warmth of faith and friendship during Nochebuena, Christmas, and the coming New Year.
Beyond the festive chorus, the song also holds a tender wish: while the singer is far from home, he asks the Virgin Mary to watch over his mother. This heartfelt plea adds a personal touch, reminding listeners that Christmas is not only about grand celebrations but also about love, protection, and family. In short, Billo's Caracas Boys deliver a lively, affectionate reminder to sing, rejoice, and share kindness under the Christmas lights.
Billo's Caracas Boys is a legendary Venezuelan dance orchestra founded in Caracas on August 31, 1940, by Dominican-born bandleader Luis María “Billo” Frómeta, debuting at the Roof Garden ballroom in the city center. Their festive sound made them a staple of celebrations across Venezuela and beyond.
Their repertoire blends Caribbean styles such as merengue, guaracha, porro, bolero, and cumbia, and their New Year favorite “Año Nuevo” is part of December traditions for many fans. Through the decades, they featured standout vocalists including Felipe Pirela, Cheo García, and Memo Morales. Today, the orchestra’s legacy continues to draw audiences across Latin America.
