Grupo Candela

Grupo Candela has been a leader in Madison’s active Latin music scene for nearly two decades. The group was founded by percussionists Manuel Vellón and Roberto Rengel (both formerly of Que Flavor), and over the years of changing lineups has grown from an octet to a 13-piece powerhouse. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes for this Concerts at McKee season closer, featuring an opening set by a youth band from Madison Music Foundry.
