**Ricardo Valverde** is a Brazilian vibraphonist, composer, and arranger celebrated for his lush, genre-blending work that bridges choro, samba, jazz, and classical traditions. Known for his collaborations with vocalist Bia Góes (as heard on *Bia Góes e Ricardo Valverde Voz + Vibrafone*) and his inventive reimagining of Brazilian classics like *Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2*, Valverde infuses his music with both technical precision and warm, rhythmic playfulness. His recent projects, such as *Xirê de Vibrafone* and *Ngongobila*, highlight his knack for merging Afro-Brazilian roots with contemporary improvisation, while *Ensemble Choro Erudito* and *Trios* showcase his dedication to chamber music intimacy. Whether reworking Villa-Lobos or crafting original pieces like *Guerreiro Coração*, Valverde’s artistry feels like a vibrant conversation between tradition and innovation.
