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. Ricardo's music comes from the perspective of a story teller. One who weaves the personal and the Universal. Ricardo's main stories that he writes about have to deal with trauma; both relationally, familial, and generational trauma. Ricardo believes music is the medium for not only healing, but for communicating beyond what we normally do with language.
Ricardo has lots of experiences facilitating or being a part of choirs. Formerly a soloist at Universal Gospel Choir, a choir which accompanied Alicia Keys Vancouver tour in 2022. Ricardo also started two community choirs: “Inlet United Community Choir” and the “New West Community Choir” which he currently directs. From intimate Sofarsounds shows to festival main stages, his music invites you to sing along with him. Ricardo’s concerts are more than just a set—they’re an experience. Ricardo is really excited to facilitate at Jam Camp for the first time.
