[https://www.theguardian.com/news/2005/jan/29/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries/ Obituary: Jim Capaldi], The Guardian.</ref> and in 1976 toured with his band Space Cadets before moving to Brazil in 1977.

He had two daughters, Tabitha born in 1976 and Tallulah born in 1979. The Capaldis lived in the [[Bahia]] region of [[Brazil]] until the beginning of 1980 and while there he became heavily involved with [[environmental issues]]. They maintained homes in [[Marlow, Buckinghamshire]], and [[Ipanema]], [[Rio de Janeiro]].<ref name= Williams /> The track "Favela Music" on his 1981 album ''Let The Thunder Cry'' arose from his love of Brazil, and he worked with several Brazilian composers.

Capaldi was a friend and supporter of the London School of Samba and played with the [[bateria]] on at least one occasion. He did a lot of charitable work for organisations in Brazil, such as the Associação Beneficiente São Martinho street children's charity in [[Lapa, Rio de Janeiro]], which the LSS also supported between 1994 and 2001. His wife was also the ''Porta Bandeira'' (flag bearer) of the LSS in the 1994 and 1995 [[Notting Hill Carnival]] parades.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://londonschoolofsamba.co.uk/about/history/jim-capaldi-obituary/|title=Jim Capaldi – Obituary|website=Londonschoolofsamba.co.uk|date=29 March 2013 |access-date=15 October 2019}}</ref>

Outside his music and environmental activism, Capaldi also assisted his wife in her work with Jubilee Action to help Brazilian [[street children]]. Because of this charity work, Capaldi and his wife were guests of [[Tony Blair]] at the [[British Prime Minister|Prime Minister's]] country house, [[Chequers]]. He remained professionally active until his final illness prevented him from working on plans for a 2005 reunion tour of Traffic. He died of [[stomach cancer]] in Westminster, London, on 28 January 2005, aged 60.<ref name="Dead"/>
