Capital do Samba are the UK's premier Brazilian samba band and guarantee a thrilling night of Latin rhythm, dance and song. Based on the traditional groups to be found in the clubs and bars of Rio de Janeiro's Lapa district, Capital do Samba brings together all the elements of great samba; irresistibly pulsating percussion grooves, sensuous harmonies, the unmistakable sound of guitar, cavaquinho and horns evoking long, hot Rio nights, and the fabulous voice and stage presence of singer Leandra Varanda "a genuine vocal treasure" - VortexJazz.co.uk.
Capital do Samba have honed their show not only through numerous private and corporate events but through over three years of their ongoing weekly residency at Guanabara, London's premier Brazilian nightclub (to be found in Parker Street, Covent Garden). Playing every week to a packed house - and a packed dancefloor - they're a highly experienced and totally professional class act.
To complement a Brazilian- or samba-themed event, we can also provide other services including a Brazilian-themed DJ, themed DVDs for projection and smaller reception music groups suitable for beginning the evening, drawing on members of the full band.
