This episode features two holiday songs from Canadian Cubans — one from the East Coast and one from Toronto — two classics from one of Canada’s first Cuban singers, a Cuban-Grenadian collaboration, and some serious Afro-Cuban Canadian percussion.

• Dee Hernandez • “Navidad Under the Stars” — A seasonal single from this Halifax-based Cuban vocalist.

• Hilario Duran • “Venid, Adoremos (Oh Come All Ye Faithful)” — From the 2013 album Christmas Salsa, a jazz-inflected take on the holiday standard.

• Chicho Valle • “Perfidia” — One of two vintage recordings from the 1970 album "Este Es Chicho Valle", a pioneer of Cuban music in Canada.

• Chicho Valle • “Anna” — Another classic cut from "Este Es Chicho Valle" (1970), blending bolero and Latin pop.

• Joaquín Núñez Hidalgo & Eddie Bullen • “Soca Salsa” — A fusion piece from the 2009 album Havana Nights, reflecting a cross-Caribbean exchange.

• Battle of Santiago • “Aguanileo” — A high-energy Afro-Cuban track from the Toronto-based group’s 2017 album "Migra" .
