Cynthia Lee Fontaine See My Cucu Again

RuPaul's Elevate Race's "Miss Congeniality" winner Cynthia Lee Fontaine shines as a glorious Navidad queen in her festive song and music video.

Releasing today, November 11, "Bring Me the Holidays," which was co-written by Armando Barrientos, is a jazzy ballad with its pop influence ushers in the joyous spirit of the vacation season, whisking listeners on a magical journeying through an enchanted Christmas forest.  "Adoro la temporada Navideña," says Cynthia Lee Fontaine from her Austin home. "It'due south the time of year I reflect fondly on my babyhood memories with my family in Puerto Rico. Amo a mi familia!"

Fontaine likewise holds a deep honey for the island of Puerto Rico. "What makes Christmas in Puerto Rico special is the music, the dancing and oh, the food," she continues. "On Christmas Eve, we would gear up a turkey and a 'lechon' (roast grunter), a very traditional dish in Puerto Rico."

She continues: "Effectually midnight, the adults would gloat with hugs and kisses and then bank check on the children to make certain we were sleeping because Papa Noel would exist coming soon!  Early Christmas morning, the children would wake to presents under the tree and after opening all the gifts, we would get together for our traditional breakfast with the leftovers from Christmas Eve dinner. Information technology was always and then much fun!"

Cynthia Lee Fontaine was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Her father had iii children from his first marriage and 2 children with Cynthia'south mother.  Cynthia'due south parents divorced when she was immature and her mother had another kid (Cynthia's younger brother) with her 2nd husband.  Christmas was a time for all of the siblings to get together.

"My favorite Christmas was when I was v years onetime and my two big sisters and big brother, who we living in Orlando at the time, surprised the states past coming to Puerto Rico on Christmas Eve.  It remains, by far, 1 of my virtually cherished Christmas gifts ever."

Cynthia's fellow, Armando Barrientos, co-wrote and produced "Bring Me the Holidays" and directed and produced the music video. Cynthia added the Spanish lyrics in the vocal. "This is the very first vocal and music video that we worked on together in our virtually three-year relationship," Cynthia says. "We accept a shared passion for the holidays!"

The music video for "Bring Me the Holidays" was filmed at the Barton Creek Greenbelt in Austin, Texas. It's a gorgeous forest surface area that allowed Cynthia to appear as la reina de navidad in a fairy woodland. "What you can't see is that I'm wearing flip flops in the video," Cynthia laughs.

"I arrived to Greenbelt in loftier heels and an evening gown but the land is total of rocks and the shoot required that we become deep into the wood! I didn't bring sneakers so I had to make exercise with flip flops I had in my pocketbook."

Cynthia Lee Fontaine is the stage name of drag performer, Carlos Díaz. Cynthia competed on the 8th and ninth seasons of RuPaul's Elevate Race, winning the title of Miss Congeniality in season 8.  Sadly, afterward filming, Cynthia was diagnosed with stage ane liver cancer. Fortunately, by season ix, she was in remission and returned to the competition on the 2nd episode as the "fourteenth queen" of the season.

"My Christmas wish for all my Cucu fans is that they accept joy and happiness this Christmas flavor, and a prosperous and healthy and happy New Year. Feliz Navidad y Prospero año Nuevo 2022!"
