Marc Anthony joins Amazon Music's Christmas celebrations with the release of a new version of the Christmas classic “Feliz Navidad / I Wanna Wish You a Merry Christmas” by Jose Feliciano.
Through Amazon Music's social media, the 57-year-old singer explained why he chose the song by the Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter.
“I chose “'Feliz Navidad' because I grew up with the song, it's a classic. This one represents me more than any other song. It captures that multicultural Christmas spirit,” Marc Anthony says about the song. The salsa singer also took the opportunity to express what this time of year means to him. “Christmas for me is about family. You can work all year, but there’s always an excuse not to sacrifice so much because you use that time to be with family,” he said.

With this song, the Puerto Rican salsa icon joins other artists who have also covered other Christmas classics for Amazon Music Original, including Gwen Stefani with “Shake The Snow Globe (from Oh. What. Fun.)”, Kylie Minogue with “XMAS”, Mariah The Scientist with “Santa Baby”, Marco Mengoni with “Coming Home”, Vanessa Mai with “Christmas In This Room”, Amir with “Words”, Spacey Jane with “Please Come Home For Christmas”, among others.
