Villancicos are a traditional genre of Spanish and Latin American music that originated in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages and flourished through the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Initially secular poetic forms with folk roots, villancicos evolved into primarily religious songs associated with Christmas and other liturgical celebrations. Characterized by vivid storytelling, choral arrangements, and rhythmic diversity, they blend sacred themes with vernacular language and popular musical elements. Performed by ensembles ranging from children's choirs to professional early music groups, villancicos often feature regional instruments and harmonies, reflecting deep cultural traditions and festive spirit.
