History
Culcha Candela was formed in Berlin by founding members Johnny Strange, Itchyban, and Lafrotino. They were later joined by singers Larsito, Mr. Reedoo, Don Cali, and DJ Chino con Estilo.
The differing heritages allows for a mixture of lyrics in
German,
English,
Spanish, and
Patois. This multiculturalism is evident in their website and music videos. While primarily in German, there are English and Spanish translations on select pages of the website
[1].
