RICARDO RIBEIRO
Portugal
The masterful icon of Lisbon Fado
22H45 - Chapiteau
New shining star in Portuguese Fado constellation, the young Ricardo Ribeiro continues his meteoric rise into the elite pantheon of Lisbon genre. His powerful vocal timbre, his striking talent and arousing interpretations, tight close to the Lusitanian saudade, have quickly placed him in orbit on Fadistas heights. Crowned Masculine Revelation by Amalia Rodrigues Foundation in 2005, his 2nd album went golden record in Portugal since then honours and prestigious collaborations kept flowing towards this artist with poignant voice resonating beside oud player Rabih Abou Khalil or for filmmaker Carlos Saura. Masterful.
