Ricardo Silveira

Ricardo Silveira is a celebrated Brazilian guitarist and composer whose smooth, genre-blending style has made him a staple of contemporary jazz and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). Known for his warm, lyrical guitar work, Silveira seamlessly weaves bossa nova, samba, and jazz fusion into his music, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Over his decades-long career, he’s collaborated with icons like Ivan Lins, Gilberto Gil, and Joyce Moreno, while his solo projects—like the Beatles-inspired *Liverpool Rio* and the intimate *Solo*—showcase his knack for reimagining classics and crafting lush originals. Recent releases, including the vibrant *Ricardo Silveira Organ Trio* and the live energy of *Quarteto Ao Vivo Jeri*, prove he’s still pushing creative boundaries, blending improvisation with Brazil’s rich musical heartbeat. Whether he’s diving into acoustic introspection or electric grooves, Silveira’s music feels like a sunny stroll through Rio—effortlessly cool and deeply soulful.
