If Ricardo Passos’ music transports listeners beyond the boundaries of time and space, it is largely due to the fact that the multi-instrumentalist from Porto complemented his academic training – classical guitar, piano, tap dance and jazz – with a 25-year journey travelling to the most diverse corners of the world, where he learned musical techniques and approaches inherited from multiple cultures and traditions, which he evokes and invokes in his concerts. The panoply of instruments that Ricardo Passos plays draws a sound planisphere without borders, a stage of profound and contagious artistic and spiritual communication.
