Candelaria Takeover in Sweeties

A two day takeover from Parisian Bar Candelaria for an exclusive drinks menu featuring Sweeties + Candelaria cocktails. Expect bar classics with a twist, and a long night of good music. ABOUT DESTA Desta French first captured attention with a standout performance on COLORS, a moment that marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. Discovered with just 200 plays on her 2016 debut single Shame, Desta has since emerged as one of the most exciting and boundary-pushing voices in the U.K.’s music scene. A true pioneer, Desta became the first U.K.-based Latin artist to land an all-Spanish song on BBC Radio 1—breaking language barriers and opening doors for a new generation of Latin artists on British airwaves. In 2023, she was supported by PRS Foundation to attend SXSW in Austin, Texas, which led to two independently booked North American tours—a testament to her drive and global appeal. In 2024, she launched La Chonga, a groundbreaking platform dedicated to uplifting and promoting creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs of Latin heritage in the U.K., with a strong focus on amplifying female talent. Musically, Desta defies categorization. Her sound is a seamless fusion of R&B, cumbia, salsa, bachata, soul, and Afrobeat—yet it always remains unmistakably Desta. As a genre-bender with a clear artistic vision, she continues to challenge conventions and carve out a space that is entirely her own.
