The Holidays are always a special time of the year. It's the time of the year to celebrate the birth of Christ with family and friends. It's also a time to share with those that may not be as fortunate as some of us. Please give from the heart to your favorite charity or cause.

This playlist contains a variety of Latin artists and songs in Spanish for the holidays. Some of the songs are traditional, some are not but still festive. The songs may make you laugh or smile and some may make you cry. As a special treat for our Metal fans we have included a Metal version of "Silent Night." One other song that was included in the playlist is " A Soldier's Silent Night" which is dedicated to our servicemen and their families. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Arhrur Yoria: How Did We Miss This Incredible Talent?

Recently saw Arthur Yoria at Momo's, World Music Night sponsored by KUT 90.5 FM/kut.org presented by Bemba Entertainment and was just blown away by his creativity, music and style. How is it that Rock y Roll Radio did not know about this incredible talent?

To be honest, Rock y Roll Radio did know about Arthur Yoria. Caught Arthur's performance at the Flamingo Cantina in Monoceja's debut performance in August. Monaceja could be described as a two man experimental, Euro-pulsating beat, fusion rock band. Eduardo "Edo" Fajardo, of bands Edo and Executive Life is the other half of Monaceja.

Arthur is not new to music but somewhat a new solo act to Austin. He is an accomplished Houston based bilingual singer/songwriter, nominated Songwriter of the Year in the Houston Press Music Awards since 2001. "He combines guitar and vocals with samples, loops, and digital effects. The tracks that are heard live are recorded immediately on stage and are then played under the current live track until that track too becomes a background layer." And now that you know about Arthur Yoria, catch his shows, get his music and Rock y Roll Radio promises you won't be disappointed.

View the two great videos by Austin Vida to get a feel of Arthur's music and creativity.

Este Vato at Trophy's this Saturday

Work off that turkey with a great show this Saturday, November 28th at Trophy's , located at 2008 S. Congress in Austin, Texas.

The musical feast will include:

Este Vato carves up Cumbia Rock, Indie, Latin and Fusion

Betaplayer slices up Hip Hop, Experimental and Progressive

Trebuchet, from Denton, Texas, serves up Rock, Progressive, Blues

DJ Cauze One mixes up Electro, Hip Hop and more

Rock y Roll Radio always enjoys Este Vato and Betaplayer's performances and energy, plus looking forward to new talents, Trebuchet or DJ Cauze One.

With all this talent, who needs pumkin pie for desert?
