Twenty-eight years after releasing their first hit, Tears of Love, Camela celebrates the longevity of their sound with a new chapter. The group unveils their eighteenth studio album, May the music stay with you, a title that nods to their signature energy while hinting at an ongoing journey that began long ago and continues to gain momentum. The project stands as a bold statement: growth without losing what made them beloved in the first place, and a clear invitation to audiences to ride along into new musical territories.
During a wide-ranging conversation about the album, the duo spoke with a respected news agency, sharing reflections on their past and the road ahead. They teased a future project that would translate their history into a cinematic form, explaining that the story could be presented as a documentary or perhaps as a feature film that fans could experience in a different medium. The idea is not merely to recount milestones but to capture the lived, expressive energy that has defined their work through the years.
Cover art and music videos continue the band’s tradition of fun homages to beloved film titles. The artists have drawn inspiration from Pirates of the Caribbean, Grease, and Bollywood, and in this release they give a subtle nod to Star Wars, driven by a playful collaboration between the members. One member enjoys describing himself as a nerdy admirer, while the partner jokingly assigns a playful role in this pop-cultural homage, creating a lighthearted backstage vibe that fans have come to know and love.
The new album emerged during a period that followed a challenging time marked by global events and personal growth. Its name reflects that maturation journey, signaling that even after tough phases there can be a new, vibrant chapter of music and performance that resonates with longtime listeners and new fans alike.
Camela is widely recognized for being an intergenerational phenomenon. The songs have become anthems that bridge multiple generations, transforming their techno-rumba sound from festival stages to intimate club moments. The artists emphasize that their music has become a shared language for families and friends who celebrate life together, with fans ranging from children to grandchildren who have grown up with their songs in the background of countless gatherings.
From the outset, the duo has highlighted the inclusive appeal of their music. The tracks frequently find themselves playlisted at weddings, family celebrations, and nights out, where the mood is joyful and carefree. The enduring warmth of their sound has kept audiences connected across generations, and they express optimism about continuing that tradition for years to come.
Benidorm Fest: weighing the moment
When television organizers launched Benidorm Fest, a competition designed to select Spain’s Eurovision entrant, many fans encouraged Camela to submit. The duo notes that while the format is appealing and the platform is exciting, it also carries a heavy sense of responsibility. They acknowledge the public interest without stepping fully into the pressurized spotlight, choosing instead to support the format and the artists who participate, rather than chase the pageantry for its own sake.
Beyond this festival conversation, Camela remains open to collaboration. They say they would happily consider working with artists who share a compatible style, should the right opportunity arise. Until then, they are focused on their current tour, using performances to promote the new album and connect with audiences across cities.
The live itinerary for the release period includes a high-profile show at a major Madrid venue, marking a significant moment in their touring calendar. Before heading to the capital, the duo plans dates in smaller cities that offer a sense of intimacy and direct connection with fans. The schedule includes stops across Spain, presenting a balanced mix of legacy material and fresh compositions to showcase the album’s spirit. The tour reinforces Camela’s enduring relevance and their commitment to delivering high-energy performances that invite everyone to participate in the celebration of music, memories, and shared moments.
