Puerto Candelaria
By Charlotte Stace
Puerto Candelaria bring their theatrical Colombian sound to Razzmatazz as part of the Ventura tour. Founded in Medellín in 2000, the band has built a singular world from cumbia, jazz, ska, rock and tropical rhythms, turning Colombian pop music into something new and experimental.
Their style is often described through labels like “cumbia underground” and “jazz a lo colombiano” - a clue to how freely they treat tradition. They bring brass, percussion, humour, theatricality and live energy in abundance. After more than two decades of touring, awards and genre-mashing invention, they remain one of Colombia’s most distinctive musical exports.
