The funk-pop band Candlelight Ficus has become a mainstay of Austrian live music in recent years, is part of the NASOM support program of the Foreign Ministry, and is returning to Porgy & Bess for the fourth time. With a 12-member formation and musical guests, the band presents their new album "Music." Earthy grooves, catchy melodies, and archaic soul elements sweep mercilessly around the ears and straight into the bones. The sun is here. And with it, the feel-good package Candlelight Ficus.
