Born in the pre-pandemic times, Candela has come back with a dynamic array of music from the traditional sounds of Cuban Son to the Salsa, Cumbia and Bachata from the 70’s to today. Since their return, this group has been steadily gaining popularity and has recently performed alongside Mr. Tito Puente Jr. at the Bijou Theater earlier this year. Get ready for a night full of ritmo y sabor with the authentic sounds of Candela!"
“Chicha ( pronounced CHEE- chuh) is a fermented corn drink from the Andes and Rica Chicha is the closest to it that you will find in this region. They will electrify you with originals as well as with genre-defying versions of many other songs from around the world. Original from the exotic lands of Knoxville, TN, this 8 piece band takes inspiration from the psychedelic Peruvian cumbia groups of the 60's and Latin American folk, punk, rock, and ska from the ‘80s and ‘90s. From the jungles of Peru to the mountains of the Appalachias, Rica Chicha makes music with no borders."
