— Potent Magazine

“Candelaria are another local Latin-flavored group to keep an eye on. The band, which calls the Fruitvale district its home, proved to be an excellent choice as opener for Bang Data, with their blend of traditional cumbia seasoned with dub reggae accents.

Every show sends the crowd into a dancing frenzy, or as the drummer Rafael Herrera likes to put it, “Bailable!””

“Dancing Shoes ON!! Such a solid dancing groove and filled with amazing musicians. They are only going to get bigger, they are fantastic. ”

“This week on Alt.Latino, we examine some stunning new vocalists, starting with Candelaria, a Bay Area group with a rendition of Dawn Penns' hit "You Don't Love Me Anymore." The original is a molasses-slow reggae song, while this version takes on a darker, more threatening tone — and we love it.”

— Jasmine Garsd, NPR - Alt.Latino
