East Los Angeles' Candelas Guitars has a history stretching back 73 years and across two countries — but the coronavirus hit the business hard. As they're trying to find new ways to make money, they know the revenue they're losing will never be recovered.

"My grandfather, Porfirio Delgado, and my great-uncle, Candelario Delgado, started the business in 1928 in Torreón, moved to Juárez in 1932, then opened the shop in Tijuana in the early '40s and then ultimately opened the shop here in Los Angeles in 1947," Delgado says."They were two orphan brothers, basically just trying to eat and survive, and started a really solid business.
"All of that is gone," he says."The things that are keeping me busy right now are the custom orders that I've had on backlog." Musician Stephanie Amaro was one of Candelas Guitars' steady customers and plays a mariachi guitar she bought from the store. As a solo artist, she plays at concerts and festivals, and as a gig musician, she plays at private events such as weddings and quinceañeras. Much like the store she gets her supplies from, Amaro says her business has been severely affected by the pandemic.
