It has been said: ‘Mi Burrito sabanero’ is one of the emblematic themes of Christmas, not only in the Spanish-speaking world, but throughout the world. The lyrics and music were composed by Hugo Blanco in 1972 and it is a Venezuelan bonus that was originally titled ‘El Burro de Belén’.
The song was recorded for the first time by folklorist Simón Díaz for the 1972 Christmas season and included on his album La Gaita de las Cuñas. Later, Blanco created the children’s choral group ‘La Rondallita’ and included the song in its first single that was released in 1975.
The solo voice of ‘Mi Burrito Sabanero’ is that of Ricardo Cohen, who was eight years old at that time and is 56 years old today. It is worth remembering that Cuenci maintains that he never received payments or royalties for the popular song.
