Capybaras

Vibrant percussion, high-energy rhythms, and global grooves mixed with a Latin feel. Named after the calm, warm-hearted, and famously friendly animal, we bring that same welcoming energy to every show, creating an open dance floor where everyone feels included, seen, and free to move! From Brazil to across Latin America, capybaras are at home everywhere, and we want to be there too: crossing borders, blending influences, and showing up wherever communities gather to celebrate. Based in Vancouver, we play to get people moving and to bring cultures together on one dance floor. Our sets pull in tunes from different traditions, inviting the city’s many communities to share the vibe and feel seen in the music.
