Weihnachtsgrüße aus Mexiko!

Das neue Opernstudio-Mitglied Ángel Macías konnte aufgrund der Pandemie noch nicht nach Deutschland einreisen. Deshalb schickt der Sänger viele Grüße aus Mexiko und erzählt von Weihnachten mit seiner Familie.
Hello, this is Ángel Macías from Mexico. I’m a tenor and I like music since I was a child, these days I really love it. My favorite Christmas Carol is "Silent Night". Since I was a child we used to sing that song in our church choir. I was very happy to know that Christmas time was coming and I really enjoyed singing that song - also because of the lyrics, talking about the Lord Jesus Christ our savior.

My Christmas tradition is to be together with the family. We were taught to rejoice at the birth of Jesus and to remember his life full of love and teaching of gratitude to God. So we get together as a family and have typical Christmas dishes that each family brings along. The menu is more varied as turkey, "tamales" (gefüllter Mais-Teig), "Menudo" (traditionelle mexikanische Suppe), "Pozole" (Eintopf) and "ponche" (Likör).
