Биография

Ricardo Bacelar is releasing the first single "O último por do sol," from his forthcoming album entitled Congênito. The full album represents a departure from his previous recordings and features Bacelar as the project's sole producer, vocalist, arranger, and instrumentalist. They are being released on record label Jazmin Music. "O último por do sol" was written by songwriters Lenine and Lula Quiroga and recounts lost love. Bacelar's recording features a video set on a beach near Fortaleza, Brazil, a quaint fisherman village surrounded by a lush, scenic landscape, and tells the story of a man who is alone because his partner has left him. In it, Bacelar joins a fisherman at sea and sings the song's Portuguese lyrics that reference the ocean, land, air, and the wind, all elements of the area that are highlighted throughout the piece. The release of Congênito marks the launch of Bacelar's fifth solo album, and is a significant accomplishment for him as he recorded, produced, and played all of the instruments on the recording exclusively. For Bacelar, it is the first solo album he created this way. He spent considerable time researching proper recording technologies, planning and writing many arrangements and determining the most suitable instruments to feature. He, along with only one recording engineer, completed the entire project. Throughout the process, he learned of the difficulties of playing each instrument and combining them to sound like a cohesive ensemble.
