CANDELEROS

Candeleros is a Spanish/South American sextet based in Madrid. Caribbean sounds, especially Afro-Venezuelan and Afro-Colombian, are the backbone of this musical experimentation, resulting in a psychedelic ritual guided by the trance of percussion, drum machines, delays, guitar melodies, and synthesizers.

From the pulsating rhythms of Sangueos and Quitiplas to the energy of Culo e Puya and cumbia, mixed with psychedelia, punk energy, and urban rhythms, their compositions are a journey through the rich traditions of the Caribbean and Latin America, passing through vibrant 21st century Madrid, immersing us in an authentic musical ritual at each of their concerts.
