Why "Cielito Lindo"

“Cielito Lindo” is a Mexican folk song written by Quirino Mendoza y Cortes and popularized in the 1880s, making it probably oldest songs in the Spanish-speaking world.

There are many versions and meanings of this song, but one thing you should know, is that it is considered a symbol of Mexico. In recent years it has become an unofficial national anthem for Mexicans, sung as a sign of unity. It is sung spontaneously in sports games, particularly at soccer games, as well as protests and every kind of gathering where love for Mexico is expressed.

Inspired by the iconic Mexican folk song ‘Cielito Lindo,’ our candles are a celebration of the music, art, and culture of Mexico. This timeless song, a symbol of unity and pride, represents the spirit of joy we aim to share through every product we create.
