BRUNO CAPINAN 🇨🇦

Bruno Capinan, a captivating performer, enthrals audiences with his unique blend of soft melodies, indie-pop, bossa-nova inspired rhythms, and an extravagant performance as an act of queer resistance. 

Hailing from the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Salvador, Capinan infuses his music with the vibrant rhythms and rich cultural heritage of his homeland, while also drawing inspiration from a diverse array of global influences. His sound, characterised by intricate melodies, poetic lyricism, and infectious grooves, transports listeners on a sonic journey that is both introspective and uplifting. He is an ambassador of Brazilian tropicalia — a nostalgic fusion of bossa nova and Afro-samba.

Capinan has performed around the world, at the renowned Casa da Música Porto, Portugal), the Montreaux Jazz Festival, Luminato Festival (Toronto), the Jazz Cafe (London, UK), BIME Bogotá, and more . Capinan's artistic endeavours have been met with critical acclaim, including reviews in the Guardian (UK) and Libération (France), and prestigious awards such as the Troféu Caymmi for "Best Pop Album" and recognition as a finalist in the Independent Music Awards.
