In this very special edition of Endyr's Christmas Village, I am presenting Tony Croatto's magnificent composition, "El Niño
Jesus". This song tells the story of the Boy Jesus visiting
a party on Christmas Eve, playing his maracas. At first He is rejected
by the party-goers, but His true self is finally recognized, and He is
accepted by them, and brought
into the festivities. It is a very moving story. Tony Croatto, who was
originally from Italy, made quite a name for himself in Puerto Rico, as
an aficionado and promoter of Jibaro music. Tony Croatto passed away in
Puerto Rico on April 3, 2005. Safe journeys to all the fans of Endyr's Christmas Village, wherever you may be.
