Bio
Growing up on the Brazilian northeast, Ricardo Bacelar experienced a wide range of musical influence: from the cultural traditions of the region and Brazil’s seemingly endless wealth of musical creatives. Everyone from Jobim to Luis Gonzaga and Gilberto Gil.
The Atlantic trade winds blew south, bringing with them a brace of international styles: the Blues, Traditional jazz, American pop and Folk. As a pianist and keyboardist, his early American influencers included jazz greats like Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett.
Ricardo represents the ‘next generation’ of talented music makers on the family tree, including his father who was an amateur jazz piano player, his mother who played the guitar and grandparents who owned not one, but two beautiful pianos.
“Lots of members of the family were musicians,” Bacelar recalls. “I grew up with these jam sessions in the living room.”
