Fond memories of Rio
What inspired this Live In Rio giveaway?
Leaving his hometown of Fortaleza for Rio de Janeiro made an indelible impression on the young pianist. In our 10 Questions With Ricardo Bacelar interview we asked him about those heady times:
“It was when I went to live in Rio de Janeiro in 1988,” he recalled. “When I moved there, Rio was already the heart of Brazilian music. There was so much going on, because all the record companies and television networks were there, and all the multinationals had offices there. Nowadays, São Paulo has captured some of that energy but at that time, it was all Rio de Janerio.”
Bacelar continued: “So, I started meeting a lot of people, working professionally even more often. I even had a record label there, launching Brazilian music titles. Rio gave me opportunities to play and perform with so many talented musicians, and it’s a place where there are many styles, influences and international shows that you end up expanding your circle of friends a lot and working even more. So many early opportunities and growth came from my move to Rio.”
