Ricardo Dias Gomes

Ricardo Dias Gomes

A respected innovator in the Rio de Janeiro music scene since the mid 90s, Ricardo Dias Gomes is best known for his work on critically acclaimed albums and tours with Caetano Veloso between 2006 and 2012. Playing bass on modern milestones in post-Tropicalia inspired Gomes to record his debut album, -11 (2015), followed by mini-album Aa (2018) featuring Arto Lindsay. On both records, Gomes played almost all the instruments himself and relied solely on his instincts in terms of the direction to take. Throughout the years, Gomes continues pushing his sound exploration boundaries, by producing records and soundtracks for cinema, theater and dance.
