Candela

The song *Candela* by Aterciopelados has a particular energy that invites movement, a spark that makes it stand out. Its duration, just 2 minutes and 42 seconds, packs an intensity that is felt from the very first moment. It is a track that, without needing grand artifices, manages to capture attention and leave a lasting sonic mark.

This song is part of El Dorado, the second studio album by the Colombian band, released on October 24, 1995. The recording took place at Audiovisión studios in Bogotá, Colombia, with production by Federico López. The album El Dorado has been noted by specialized critics as a turning point in Spanish rock, and is considered to have opened the doors to international recognition for Aterciopelados. In fact, American magazine Al Borde included it in its list of the 250 most important albums of Iberoamerican Rock in 2006, making it one of the band’s three works to appear in that selection.
