Ana Cristina Cash Discusses Her Love For Christmas Music and “Mele Kalikimaka”

Nashville-based singer-songwriter, Ana Cristina Cash, has a theory. Creative people, she says, make what they need at any given time. This is why Cash, who began performing at six-years-old and writing songs not long after, recorded her own version of the classic Hawaiian holiday song, “Mele Kalikimaka,” during the constrictive quarantine. She wanted to transport herself (and her listeners) to a place of sunshine and joy during a cold, stuffy winter season. Cash, who also recorded the song to make her young child smile, recorded the track with her husband, John Carter Cash, in the historic Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee. And we’re happy to premiere the bright music video for the acoustic version of the track here today.
