Brazilian-Canadian Singer-songwriter
“Acrobatic, sensual, both angelic and profane” is how The Guardian describes Brazilian-born, Canadian singer-songwriter Bruno Capinan. The Toronto based queer artist has released five albums in his decade long music career and performed to audiences in Canada, Japan, Brazil, Argentina and the United States; fusing Tropicalia inspired music and an extravagant performance as an act of LGBTQI+ resistance.
Bruno Capinan gained international recognition with the release of “Divina Graça” (2016), including reviews in French newspaper Libération, as well as Brazil’s largest publications O Globo, Folha de São Paulo and Rolling Stone Brazil. Winner of Canada’s TELUS Newcomer Artist Award 2014, he has collaborated with artists around the globe, including Japanese composer Jun Miyake, with whom he co-wrote and appeared on “Lost Memory Theatre Act-3”.
Most recently, Capinan released his fifth studio album “Leão Alado Sem Juba”, recorded remotely between Canada, France, Portugal and Brazil. He has received two nominations to the prestigious APCA (São Paulo Association of Art Critics) back to back, in the album of the year category, for his latest release “Leão Alado Sem Juba” (2020) and “REAL” (2019).
