A São Paulo band mixing son and bolero into romantic and upbeat tracks since 2014.
For a good sense of their range, try 'Teresa Bandolera' or 'La Vida Es Un Carnaval'. They're just solid, unpretentious stuff.
Their 2015 single 'Mentirosa' became a hit with its melody and lyrics about a deceitful lover, connecting widely despite later plagiarism allegations. Songs like 'Maldito Corazón' and 'Capim Cubano é Fogo' show how they keep Cuban and Brazilian influences working together without much fuss. They've performed with Gilberto Gil and Chico Buarque, and their music often touches on social and environmental issues.
Capim Cubano formed in São Paulo around 2014, drawing from Cuban rhythms like son and bolero. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2016, followed by 'Deixa Entrar' in 2018 and 'Todos os Sons' in 2020. The band has faced some criticism for speaking up on issues, but their momentum hasn't really slowed.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
