Ricardo

Ricardo is an artist, composer, and music producer based in Vancouver, BC. Born in Mozambique a few years after the civil war, Ricardo immigrated to Canada with his mother when he was just 5-years old. His music is an honest reflection of his journey, blending personal storytelling with boundary-pushing sounds. Ricardo's songs have to deal with trauma; both relationally, familial, and generational trauma, weaving the personal into the universal. Ricardo believes music is the medium for not only healing, but for communicating beyond what we normally do with language. From intimate Sofarsounds shows to festival main stages, his music invites you to join him on an unpredictable, unforgettable ride. Ricardo’s concerts are more than just a set—they’re an experience.
