Puerto Candelaria Puerto Candelaria

Founded in 2000 in Medellin, Colombia, Puerto Candelaria bases its sound in popular Colombian rhythms, full of imagination and magical spirit. With their creation of contradictory rhythms like Cumbia Underground or Jazz a lo Colombiano they were able to create a special place for their country in the global markets of jazz, experimental, and world music.
 
In its 14-year history, Puerto Candelaria has recorded 4 albums and a DVD rich in both local and international sounds. More than a million people have attended Puerto Candelaria’s concerts during 30 international tours that have taken the band to more than 60 cities in Central America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
 
The Candelarios captivate their audience with their experimental sounds in joyful shows that explore the absurd in everyday matters through laughter and transcendent emotions, along with rhythm, dance, and most importantly, the exuberant explosion of Colombia’s cultural richness.

 
“an explosive danceable cocktail where different urban sounds mix in a blend of cumbia and atmosphere from the Colombian coast” ~ Telam Argentina
