Influenced by Adalberto Álvarez, Issac Delgado, Arsenio Rodríguez, Alexander Abreu y Havana D'Primera. Candelario 'Candela' Vargas learned to play the tres guitar from his uncle in Santiago de Cuba, and his songs are vivid portraits of the people he grew up with. He writes about the dignity of manual laborers and love affairs that unfold on public buses. His partner of twelve years, an architect named Elena, appears in every love song he's ever written, though he has never once used her name. He still lives on the same street he was born on, believing that if he left, his music would lose its soul.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jueves. Tu foto vieja en la pantalla del Alcatel.
Le di a 'borrar contacto', y no tembló ni la pared.
Fue un gesto simple, un dedo, un pulso casi normal,
como quien quita un clavo que ya no aguanta na'.

[Chorus]
Y se cayó el andamio, pero el edificio sigue en pie.
Gané la guerra solo, dime tú, ¿para qué?
Se me llenó de óxido el espacio donde estabas.
Y esta victoria, mi vida, no sabe a nada.

[Verse 2]
Me acuerdo aquella tarde, el calor denso del latón del P1.
Dijiste, "Guárdame bien", como si el número y tú fueran uno.
Aferrado a esos dígitos como a una viga maestra,
ignorando la grieta que cruzaba la pieza.

[Bridge]
Y ahora el silencio es un cuarto recién pintado...
huele a nuevo, pero se siente deshabitado.

[Chorus]
Y se cayó el andamio, pero el edificio sigue en pie.
Gané la guerra solo, dime tú, ¿para qué?
Se me llenó de óxido el espacio donde estabas.
Y esta victoria, mi vida, no sabe a nada.

[Outro]
Bueno... eso era. Se acabó la llamada.
