Candeleros, la banda madrileña de «caribe psicodélico», presenta su doble EP en un único vinilo de 12 pulgadas. Dos caras, dos conceptos, una misma energía desbordante.

El vinilo captura la esencia de Lavapiés, el barrio que vio nacer a la banda y que inspira todo el proyecto. Cuatro temas originales que mezclan ritmos tradicionales venezolanos y colombianos con guitarras psicodélicas y samplers, acompañados de cuatro remixes que llevan su sonido a la pista de baile.

Colaboraciones estelares con Mauro Santos, Desiré Paredes y Afro Libertad, y remixes a cargo de Caribombo, Piper Street Sound, Phran y Pirámida. La mezcla corre a cargo de la banda en Chip Lab Studio, y la portada es obra de la artista bogotana SOMA (Laura Ortiz), cuya ilustración refleja la dualidad del disco: día y noche, orden y caos, Bululú y Bochinche.

To throw a CANDELA is a popular expression for hosting an impromptu encounter revolving around tobacco, fire and music. CANDELA and fire are used as metaphors of passion, warmth and love, and this is what CANDELEROS transmit in their live performances, delivering their very own unique Afro-Caribbean vibes with a strong identity: folklore and psychedelia given a modern twist in a ritual of catchy drums, surf guitar riffs and South American percussions.
Infusing punk energy into their remarkable interpretation of traditions, the six-piece band embarks on a journey through the vibrant and immensely rich musical culture of the Caribbean, fusing merengue, champeta, salsa, and son, with bullerengue and cumbia; constantly reinventing themselves.
William, Fernando, Urko, Sergio, Alex and Andrés, come from different regions of Colombia and Venezuela. Their paths crossed in Madrid, Spain, where the Latin American family comes together through art and culture, gathering in diverse groups that focus on bringing their common cultural heritage to the world.
Their passion for endless musical improvisation, always crossing the thin line between genres, can be felt in these two tracks selected by Galletas Calientes Records .
A-Side 'La Cumbia Del Chinche' is an experimental, mind-bending cumbia, driven by a heavy mix of electronic and acoustic drums, hissing guacharacas and hallucinogenic guitars.
B-side 'El Boleta' is a totally freaked-out, uptempo merengue; a clever blend of subtle electronic drums, organic and hard-hitting percussions, psychedelic guitars and keys with the iconic ghostly tremolo and trippy reverb of seventies Peruvian cumbia.
