IAP 306: We All Say Buon Natale! Making Our 2023 Christmas Music Video with the Bloomfield Mandolin Orchestra

Everyone knows the song about Christmas in Hawaii, but while we can appreciate a holiday with sun and sand, where's the song that celebrates a Buon Natale filled with pesce and paisans?? Well, we at the Italian American Podcast set out to create a song for those who celebrate Christmas the Italian American way, and our first call was to our friends at the Bloomfield Mandolin Orchestra, one of the best-kept secrets in Italian America.   We're all gathering together hot off the heels of recording our new song "We All Say Buon Natale", and having a hilarious day putting together a music video for it.  So, we're sharing how this project came to pass, some insight into the wonderful work of the Bloomfield Mandolin Orchestra, some of our favorite Italian American Christmas traditions and tales, and a sneak peek of our brand-new song.   So join us for our ANNUAL CHRISTMAS EVE SPECTACULAR, wishing you Buon Natale from the Italian American Podcast and the Bloomfield Mandolin Orchestra!
