Juancito el Peregrino : Creole guitar.Chango Farías Gómez : bass drum and percussion accessories.
I understood that I could only thank them by writing a religious work in their honor, but I did not yet know how to do it. Both works are related and on some occasions the confusion may arise from considering that our Christmas - or some of its themes - make up the Creole Mass. Simultaneously with the Creole Mass, Ariel Ramírez composed Our Christmas, with lyrics by the poet and historian Félix Luna, and included as side B of the album. The work was composed and recorded in 1964 and released as an album in 1965, with the folk group Los Fronterizos - Eduardo Madeo, Gerardo López, Julio César Isella and Juan Carlos Moreno - (voices), Jaime Torres ( charango ), Chango Farías Gómez ( percussion), Raúl Barboza (accordion), Luis Amaya (guitar), the Cantoría de la Basílica del Socorro - directed by Father Jesús Gabriel Segade - and an orchestra made up of regional instruments - directed by Ariel Ramírez himself.
The work is dedicated to two German sisters, Elisabeth and Regina Brückner, who helped the prisoners of a concentration camp during Nazism with food. The liturgical texts were translated and adapted by the priests Antonio Osvaldo Catena, Alejandro Mayol and Jesús Gabriel Segade. The Creole Mass is a musical work for soloists, choir and orchestra, of a religious and folkloric nature, created by the Argentine musician Ariel Ramírez (1921-2010). Cover of the album La misa criolla by Ariel Ramírez (1964).
