The album features 11 reimagined Maltese carols, recorded live with the accompaniment of a 6-piece band from the charming Bir Miftuh Chapel in Gudja. Including well-loved songs such as ‘Gesu Helwa Tarbija’ and ‘Ninni La Tibkix Izjed’, this unique recording brings together the richness of a Malta’s festive musical traditions with the warmth of a live performance, capturing the spirit of Christmas with a refreshing, new twist.

This new album comes alongside the singing duo’s upcoming performances at their Chapel Hop Concerts between the 5th and 8th of December. This year’s chapel hop will feature, for the first time, a multicultural choir accompanying the duo in their magical live performances of their Christmas carols. Tickets for the Christmas Chapel Hop are available on ShowsHappening, and the album can be listened to on Spotify and Apple Music.
