Video of Pope Leo - Robert Prevost - singing Feliz Navidad in Peru in 2014
I'd found and posted about an article earlier today
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220305142
that mentioned how Prevost had enjoyed music and singing in Peru.
Castillo recalled the pope enjoying local music and singing. He said Leo loved Peruvian Creole tunes and sang classic songs like "Mi Perú" and "Alma, corazón y vida."
I couldn't find any video of that, but I heard Feliz Navidad mentioned on ABC's evening news. And I found the video below. English translation, via Google, of the Portuguese video description below the video.
After Robert Prevost was elected as the new pope, old videos of the pontiff began circulating on social media again. In one of the recordings, Prevost appears singing 'Feliz Navidad' with the faithful in 2014 in Peru. "At our Christmas gathering in 2014, they introduced us to Mr. Robert. We were enchanted by his simplicity," wrote a faithful who was present at the celebration. "We never imagined that we were meeting the new Pope," she added. Leo XIV, of the Augustinian order, served for more than a decade as bishop in Chiclayo.
