Ofrenda (Offering) is a Puerto Rican Christmas music and Puerto Rican Folk Music album by Danny Rivera. This album was Danny Rivera's second Christmas album. As special guests he reunited legendary local folk group Trio Vegabajeño (Fernandito Alvarez, Benito de Jesús, Pepito Maduro and Jorge Hernandez). Jorge Hernandez was also a member of the group Alpha IV which had been recording with Danny for several years. From his previous album, Controversia he recruited singer Alma Galarza of Vicente Carattini y Los Cantores de San Juan with the condition she quit Los Cantores to join him on lead vocals full-time in the studio and on tour, which she did. Jardinero de Cariños was the biggest hit from the album.
