Buena Vista Social Club - Candela (Official Audio)

The original Buena Vista Social Club album was recorded for World Circuit Records over six days at the vintage EGREM studios in Havana. Released in 1997, the album went on to become a worldwide phenomenon, selling over 8 million copies and contributing to the rise in popularity of Cuban, as well as Latin American, music.

Since forming in London in the mid-1980s, World Circuit Records has made its reputation by producing some of the finest albums of the past three decades. The label’s prestigious roster includes Buena Vista Social Club and associated solo artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Omara Portuondo and Orlando ‘Cachaíto’ López), Malian blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, Malian divas and social activists Oumou Sangaré and Fatoumata Diawara, master kora player Toumani Diabaté, the illustrious Orchestra Baobab, musical iconoclast Cheikh Lô, and Fela Kuti’s legendary drummer and co-creator of Afrobeat Tony Allen.

With reissues and brand new releases coming soon, World Circuit continues to bring diverse, genre-defying music to a wider audience.

The fellow who thought there was one more repetition of ay candela at 2:27 but shut it down real quick after ay, you are my brother from across the ocean and always will be.

Sending love to beautiful Cuba and its vibrant culture!

Muchisimas gracias al pueblo de Cuba por todo lo que le ha dado al mundo. Un gran saludo de Croacia.

Deze muziek moet je luisteren op een zomerochtend, als de straten nog beslagen zijn door de ochtenddauw. Groeten uit Holland

When this album came out I was a teenager and can remember being blown away by it. Still one of my favourite albums ever

[georgetanga]

This album makes me feel...pain, love, joy, heartache, lust, like dancing, like crying, like screaming out loud! A must-have in anyone's collection. PERIOD

[monkeytennis]

This album soundtracked my recovery from illness 5 years ago ; stood in the kitchen making breakfast on a Saturday morning, beaming from ear to ear, our youngest daughter running around my feet and getting in my way...the pure joy and life in these sounds made them a perfect fit to where I was at the time.

I haven't listened to this for a while, but today, it again soundtracked my Saturday morning whilst I made breakfast, and took me back to 5 years ago, giving me a friendly reminder that I can't ever forget how I should keep smiling, keep the rhythm, keep the joy alive, always.

Thank you, Buena Vista Social Club.

Ibrahim Ferrer's voice is iconic.

[sanfelixinstruments]

Candela was written by Faustino Oramas “El Guayabero” (who is referenced in the lyrics) - if you love Candela, you’ll like his other stuff too - the tumbao (pulse) of his songs are extraordinary!

[rblessed]

Listening to this song while I had a chemo pump strapped on me. This took me to Cuba, my roots, a beautiful land. ❤

[claudioc]

Amazing how a little island like Cuba, can deliver such a beatiful things!

[starchild.P]

Beautiful. I don’t speak Spanish yet I receive visions from this song, life in a Latin country, drinking, with so much good conversation around, warm air and a open shirt hanging on me while I just take in the music and love❤️

[gerardocarrasco]

Buen vista social cuando un puñado de hombres sencillos dejan de ser hombres, no para convertirse en músicos sino para convertirse en el Arte mismo, Saludos a todos los pueblos hermanos de América Latina desde México¡¡¡¡

This album is the greatest ever. I do not even understand meaning of lyrics, but loving the idea behind the album and the spirit i can feel among the whole orchestra group. It is a big motive for me to learn Spanish to be more involved.
