Christmas Carols on La Palma

In the Canary Islands, Los Divinos are groups of amateur musicians who sing Christmas carols. The tradition is to go around the town or village carolling for nine days before Christmas – 1 night for each month of Mary’s pregnancy. The groups are usually fairly large and very, very good.
