Jencarlos Canela & José Feliciano Debut 'Aleluya' Video

By Michael Lopez

They say that timing is everything and, in the case of Jencarlos Canela's new duet, that seems to clearly be the case. Capitalizing on the Christmas spirit of  "Feliz Navidad", Jencarlos has recruited music legend José Feliciano for a new single and music video.

Titled "Aleluya," the track features plenty of acoustic flourishes and a heartfelt message about celebrating life. The video is quite moving, showcasing Jencarlos and José strumming their guitars on a quiet stage.

And the single has an extra special meaning for Canela. He's letting the International Rescue Committee (IRC) use it as an anthem for their work being done in Haiti. Jencarlos has even become the official spokesman for the organization, lending his face and voice to the cause.

But we get the feeling "Aleluya" may have an even deeper meaning than that. Canela is about to become a first-time father, which is a miracle to rejoice about all unto itself.
