DANCE FLOOR OPENPre-show dance lesson with Rueda Con Ritmo starting at 7:10pm
In the old days drummers would light a small fire by the street curve, to heat up and tune their congas and other type of hand drums: "Darle CANDELA al tambor" ("Set the drums on fire").
The name CANDELA has described very well the energy and intensity of the live performances of this great San Francisco Bay Area Salsa Band for over three decades.
Edgardo & Candela is a Salsa Band based in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 36 years, one of the most established Salsa Orchestras in California. The instrumentation is piano, bass, trombone, sax, flute, guitar, conga drums, bongo drums, timbales and vocalists. Better known as simply “Candela,” their trademark is high energy level performance, featuring great vocals, a tight rhythm section and the powerful sound of the horns. The band features the cream of the crop of professional musicians in the Bay Area, which makes for an incredible musical experience every time they play!
During the evening, Edgardo will personally assure that everyone is entertained while he mixes singing tunes by Oscar De León, Marc Anthony, Eddie Palmieri, Rubén Blades, Tito Puente, Guaco, Pete "Conde" Rodriguez, Celia Cruz and Ray Barretto among others, but the real treat here is Edgardo's original music, presenting him as a mature composer and poetic lyricist.
"I am very proud of having shared the stage with these great musicians over three decades now. We know each other musically so well, they are indeed my Salsa family! Music for me is all about making people want to dance, have a good time and maybe, even make us all think a little in the process." - Edgardo Cambón
