Augie Rios - Donde Esta Santa Claus (ASL, Guitar, Ukulele, Piano & More)

 

Todays song is Donde Esta Santa Claus by Augie Rios. Born on October 24, 1946, in New York City to hardworking Puerto Rican parents, Augie Rios was a prominent mid-century child actor and singer who carved out a permanent legacy in American holiday music. 

This song was originally copyrighted and officially released as a 45 RPM vinyl single on the Metro label (an MGM Records subsidiary) in late 1958, just in time for that year's holiday season. When 12-year-old Augie Rios went into the studio to record the track, he wasn't just a random kid off the street—he was already a seasoned young professional. At the exact time the single hit radio stations in late 1958, Rios was actively appearing on Broadway starring in the hit musical Jamaica alongside legendary performers Lena Horne and Ricardo Montalbán.

This is a fun song for the holidays. There's not much out there about how to play this song so I made a little chord chart under the guitar section. So if your looking for a song to make a lesson about try this one. 

So let's learn this one together... The ASL version and on Guitar, Ukulele, & Piano. Let's get in to it.

So we hopped into our car the other day with our PJs, duvet and Teddy to bring you this little festive tune as part of our our #Makaton #CarPark #Karaoke series. You can sign along to whether you are singing the English or #Spanish words - showing how the #Makaton gestures can bridge both languages and help you learn! Great eh? For Mamacita - we've signed MUMMY as this is clearly a little child singing to his Mummy - but this is an old track and the connotations of this word have changed in the US / South America so don't go and use the word Mamacita for someone's Mum over there as you might get some funny looks......
