About El Bochinche

Bochinche: mess, commotion, uproar, excessive noise, scandal, disorder.

"El Bochinche" is a follow-up to Candeleros' previous EP, "El Bululú".

The cover artwork, created by Bogotá-based artist SOMA (Laura Ortiz), captures

with a unique sensitivity the life, colors, and energy of the street. Two perspectives

of the same place — day and night / El Bululú and El Bochinche— inspired by

Lavapiés, the neighborhood where we first met: a space shaped by diversity,

gentrification, and struggle, but also by community, love, and resistance.

The EP is a small portrait of that constant tension between what changes and what

endures.

“Se Va Volando” features the vocals of Desiré Paredes and a contribution from

Afro Libertad on the culo e’ puya drums. The piece is based on a traditional Fulia

song by Ana Josefa Uribe and is interwoven with a Spanish-language work song,

creating a bridge between territories and memories.

“Perro de Agua” is inspired by an indigenous Venezuelan song from the Guaibo

community, incorporating elements such as the quitiplás, an Afro-Venezuelan

percussion instrument from the Barlovento region.

Includes remixes by Phran and Pirámida.
