Candeeiro Natural was a Portuguese rock band that formed in Lisbon in 1968. Their music drew from psychedelic rock, jazz, and Brazilian influences, with members including José Cid on vocals and guitar, Júlio Pereira on bass, José Fernandez on drums, and Manuela Moura Guedes on vocals.
Their 1973 song 'A Vela' became their most recognizable track, featuring a flute solo and lyrics that listeners connected with Portugal's political climate at the time. Other songs like 'Paz No Pensamento' and 'Flutuando No Espaço' reflected their interest in both social commentary and more introspective themes.
They released four studio albums before their activity slowed in the late 1970s.
