Reviews
We booked the Candela Son trio to perform after a screening of Buena Vista Social Club as part of a Cuban themed event at Stanley’s Film Club. This was the best choice we could have made – the music was a perfect match for the film, and the band quickly had everyone dancing with their own music and covers from the movie. We were absolutely thrilled with the performance, as Ednar and his band members brought a real energy to the evening and an authentic Cuban experience, putting a smile so many faces.

Buena Vista Social Club Documentary ScreeningCandela Son added a fantastic end to our recent gala dinner. As soon as they started playing everybody started swaying to the rhythm in their seats and once they hit the dance floor l witness some very entertaining moves! Easy to work with, responsive to booking questions, punctual and worked to the brief – can thoroughly recommend.

The feedback from all those that attended their performance has been fantastic and Candela Son are rightly considered one of the best Cuban bands in the UK. We would be delighted to welcome the band back again to the festival in the future. Thank you again for a brilliant performance at our festival.
