Eylsia Nicolas, the stage name of Lisa Pamintuan, returns with “Hot, Hot Christmas in Africa,” a vibrant and heartfelt holiday release rooted in gratitude, survival, and enduring joy. The song reflects a life marked by extraordinary highs and devastating lows, transformed into music that celebrates warmth, faith, and the unbreakable spirit of Christmas.
Eylsia’s story spans continents and disciplines. From becoming the youngest winner of the Irish Open to competing at the highest levels of tennis, her early rise was met with abrupt setbacks, including injury and exclusion at Wimbledon during a turbulent period in Europe. Later, a move through Hollywood’s fast-paced world brought success alongside personal collapse, followed by recovery in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Through each chapter, one constant remained: Christmas as a source of comfort, reflection, and hope.
Her transition into leadership and service saw her become a college president, focused on giving back and empowering others. When she returned to her first love, writing and singing, another major challenge arrived. During the COVID-19 period, Eylsia suffered severe illness that resulted in permanent lung damage and vocal impairment. Through science, technology, and innovation developed at WorldIPI.com, supported by AI tools, she was able to reclaim her voice and resume creating music across house, pop, jazz, gospel, religious, and Christmas genres.
“Hot, Hot Christmas in Africa” captures that journey. It is bright, uplifting, and life-affirming, blending festive energy with lived experience. The song stands as a reminder that joy can persist through adversity and that tradition can carry us through the hardest seasons.
Eylsia Nicolas remains deeply grateful for the millions of streams from listeners worldwide and for the continued support of curators and critics who champion her work. Beyond music, she actively supports artist welfare by donating a portion of her royalties to help fellow musicians, while continuing ventures across entertainment, technology, and fashion. She also acknowledges the Eylsium ensemble, whose collaboration helps bring her music to life.
With more releases ahead, Eylsia Nicolas continues to explore new ways to create, connect, and give back—proving that even after profound loss, renewal is possible.
