“Parisian Mambo” is the second LP by “Cecilya & the Candy Kings”. The entire album is a tribute to the city of Paris, which has made the Catalan singer grow musically since she settled in the capital of love. The 11 songs on the album will take you back to the 50s by the hand of a woman with a powerful and luminous voice committed to the causes of her time.

The lyrics of Cecilya not only speak of love and celebration as rhythm and blues did at that time. They also speak of dreams (broken or not), internal struggles, healing, emigration, her native Mediterranean, the luck of being a free woman, the superficiality of the world we live in and the nostalgia for better times.

The music, signed Rodolphe Dumont, has been produced in detail to enhance the personal universe of Cecilya. Retro soundscapes and catchy melodies will take listeners back to the days of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. "Parisian Mambo" captures the essence of Golden Age rhythm and blues - a blend of blues, rock and roll, boogie-woogie, mambo and more.

Personnel: Cecilya Mestres (vocals); Rodolphe Dumont (guitar); Sax Gordon (saxophone); Olivier Cantrelle (piano); Abdell B. Bop (double bass); Denis Agenet (drums).

Based in Paris, despite her youth, the Barcelona artist Cecilya Mestres has a long career in the world of music, being recognized as one of the most promising singers of her generation within blues, rhythm & blues and classic Rock 'n' roll. During these last years, she has toured a large part of Europe and Argentina; and since 2019 she develops her career in France. She made her debut at the age of 14 and during that period of time she sang and composed songs in various formations with heterogeneous musical styles.

Cecilya Mestres leads a rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll "all-star" band with the support of guitarist Rodolphe Dumont, one of the most renowned musicians of the genre in France. Similarly, she has the invaluable collaboration of Sax Gordon who recorded the saxes from Boston (USA). The group Cecilya & The Candy Kings is also made up of Spanish musicians with whom they form a totally incendiary live combo.

Now they present the new album "Back in 1955", with a pure rock 'n' roll sound and original songs composed by Cecilya Mestres plus two cover versions; one of them being "Back In 1955", a single that gave its name to this album. Edited by Meseta Records, Cecilya & The Candy Kings have played in the best jazz clubs and venues in Paris such as Le Caveau de la Huchette, Sunset Sunside and Le Balajo.

They have defended their repertoire throughout France, Switzerland and Spain, performing at festivals such as the Disney Rock 'n' Roll Festival in Disneyland (Paris) or the Festival des Terrasses de Crans-Montana in Switzerland. Since 2020, Cecilya Mestres has been featured on billboards at major European festivals such as the American Tours Festival and the Béthune Retro Festival, among others.

Personnel: Cecilya Mestres (vocals); Rodolphe Dumont (guitars); Paul San Martín (piano); Jorge Otero (double bass); Adrián Carrera (drums). Special guest: Sax Gordon (tenor and baritone saxophone).
