The word CANDELA has many related meanings in Spanish: candle, fire, measurement unit for luminosity, it's also often used to describe a hot tempered character or to compliment someone's good looks, but most significantly, in the old days drummers would light a small fire by the street curve, to heat up and thus 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 our live performances for well over two decades now!
