Music on the Square - Edgardo & Candela • Salsa

The debut presentation at The Redwood City Music on the Square, of this blessed tenor Salsa singer and skilled “conguero”, who has been called “A pillar point for the San Francisco/Bay Area Salsa Scene.” Through rhythms like Mambo, Cha-Cha-Chá, Merengue, Bolero, Bachata, Cumbia, and the more contemporary style Timba, Edgardo’s voice shows what a superb gift he has to offer. Formed in 1987, “Edgardo & Candela” has performed for sold out audiences at venues like, Yoshi’s, San Francisco Jazz Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival, and internationally at Festival Benny More (Cuba), Budweiser Festival in Guam, and at Salsa venues in Stockholm, and Gothemburg, Sweden. “Candela’s” unique sound has consistently delivered to the Bay Area dancers what they do best: Salsa Para Bailar!
