Edgardo Cambon and Candela CD Release Party!

In just three weeks, Edgardo and Candela will celebrate 20 years together with a wonderful CD entitled Celebrando 20 Años! This will be a show full of dance, music and vibrant energy from one of the Bay Area's best salsa bands. I won't be on stage, but I'll be there to dance the night away!

Unusual in its configuration, the nine-piece Candela boasts a crackling percussion front line of sonero/conguero Edgardo Cambón, bongocero Julio Areas and timbalero Omar Ledezma. The three trombones are manned by Jeff Cressman, Abel Figueroa and Marty Wehner, while vocals from Bay Area Brazilian songbird Sandy Cressman enhance the ensemble. Pianist Bob Karty and bassist David Belove maintain a tight and funky rhythm section.

The evening will also include special guests such as flamenco guitarist Jason McGuire and bandoneón player Seth Asarnow, as well as Juan Ceballos, Camilo Landau, Steve Senft, Walter Gonzalez, Jorge Dominguez, Natalia Bernal, Salsa, Flamenco and Tango dancers, Uruguayan Candombe drums and many other surprises!

Edgardo and Candela play Tuesday, October 28 at Yoshi's in San Francisco. Click here for tickets!
