“Capinan grew up in Bahia, with the prophets of samba in his ears, and above all the aesthetes of tropicalism, starting with Caetano Veloso from whom he has preserved this subtle inflection for sublime transgression”
“Capinan's art is both celebration and protest”
"The new album from Toronto-based, Brazilian-Canadian singer-songwriter Capinan is a jewel"
"That voice – acrobatic, sensual, both angelic and profane"
"Jubilant bossa nova and samba sounds and rhythms that served as a form of spiritual liberation"
"Capinan has built a great reputation in Canada and Brazil by taming bossa nova and saudade in his own way. Angelic voice, extravagant appearance, he claims tropicalism as a musical influence"
