Spring is clocking in early, and it’s bringing rhythm, colour, and collective joy with it! Enjoy it with Capybaras, APÄTRIDA and DJ André BR Capybaras’ Spring Party is your official invitation to shake off winter and dance headfirst into the season in one of East Van’s most iconic spots. Capybaras is Brazilian joy at full volume. 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. 🔥 The night’s journey 🔥 We kick things off with the irresistible Brazilian grooves of DJ André Brasil, setting the tone and warming up the floor. Next, the APÄTRIDA takes you across borders with their rich, transcontinental sound. And when the room is buzzing, and the drinks are flowing, Capybaras Band closes the night—high-energy, heart-open, and impossible not to dance to. 🍹 The vibe 🍹 Astoria Pub brings the charm: pool tables, great drinks, and that cozy-meets-electric atmosphere that turns a party into a memory. Dress to impress in your best colourful spring outfit —think bold, bright, and joyful! This isn’t just a show. It’s a seasonal reset. It’s a dance floor without borders. It’s springtime—Capybaras style! 😎💃🕺 About the Guest Artists APÄTRIDA is Pablo Zacarías' latest musical project, a cross-cultural collaboration featuring artists from Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Canada, Brazil, Egypt, Colombia and Serbia.

DJ André Brasil has performed at private parties and music events in both Canada and Brazil, primarily for Brazilian and Latin American audiences in Canada. His style is rooted in the sounds of the 1980s and 1990s, while also spotlighting emerging pop artists and contemporary dance music. Blending Brazilian dance genres with international pop, he incorporates special remixes and original tracks from albums by both classic and current dancefloor icons, creating high-energy sets that balance nostalgia, discovery, and vibrant dancefloor appeal.
