“Convidando está la noche” is a Mexican villancico (church music in a popular style) composed in the 17th century by the Mexican composer Juan García de Zéspedes. It is a genuine example of Mexican Baroque music, as it strongly reflects the multicultural and popular aspects of society. This characteristic is evident in the majority of the music from the New World, including both art music and church music. The chorus, 'el estribillo,' is a Guaracha—a rapid dance style, probably of Spanish origin.
The attentive listener will even appreciate elements of polyrhythm in the song—that is, two different rhythmic pulses present at the same time—which indicates the African influence in the popular repertoire.

The song was recorded by the Danish ensemble Via Artis Konsort in the stillness of a late night in a small village in Central Spain.
