Villancicos are a traditional music genre deeply rooted in Spanish and Latin American cultures, particularly associated with the Christmas season. Originating in medieval Spain, these festive songs typically feature catchy melodies, simple harmonic structures, and themes centered around the Nativity, holiday joy, and expressions of goodwill. Often performed by choirs or children's groups, such as Coro infantil, they evoke a sense of warmth and community spirit. The genre has evolved to incorporate contemporary elements while maintaining its core essence, as seen in the works of Villancicos de Navidad y Canciones de Navidad and Ronda del Zipi Zape, who blend timeless traditions with modern festive sounds to preserve and invigorate this cherished musical form.
