Copacaband specialises in corporate and private functions with a Latin theme. The world class band is made up of accomplished Brazilian and International musicians.

The group has been working together for over 5 years and playing at prestigious functions, award ceremonies and festivals all over the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The group is also perfect for weddings with a difference!

The group’s repertoire includes styles from across the Latin spectrum such as: Samba, Salsa, Lambada, Merengue, and Latin Pop from artists like Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan amongst others.

Their experience says that every event is different and because of this they are able to offer a variety of additional options with the band, such as: an exciting ‘carnival style’ dance show, a vibrant salsa dancing couple, ‘Batucada’- Brazillian drum show and more.

The band requires approximately 2 hours set up and soundcheck time and a performance space of ideally, 6m x 5m (add this space again if a dance show is required).

The band utilises a state of the art PA system and lighting rig, which comprises the following: 3k rig, (suitable for audiences of up to 500 people), 1 x 32-channel passive mixing desk, 2 x active 15” 500 watt top speakers, 3 x active 12” monitors, 1 x smaller active mixer and up to 4 passive monitors, 1 x in ear monitoring system 1 x 1000 watt amp (for bass speakers) 2 x 18” passive bass speakers.

Lighting rig details: 8 x 300 watt  par cans (par56), 2 x twisters (disco lights) 1 x controller.

The best option musically, and for greatest impact, is for the full band (9 people). The line up and instrumentation of which is: Drums, Percussion, Bass/ Vocals, Keyboard, Guitar, Lead Vocalist, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone. In addition, 2 or 5 dancers with the full band have a fantastic impact.
