BIOGRAPHY

Singer, songwriter and guitarist, Rômmel Ribeiro was born into a family of accomplished artists

in northern Brazil. Being surrounded by art, the musician was inspired by the work of great

names as Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso still in a young age. In 2006, after

releasing "Transcendental", his first album, he landed in Canada, where he crossed paths with

the People Project Band. It was the perfect opportunity for exploring music in a multicultural

background and for performing in relevant events, such as Montreal and Ottawa's Jazz

Festivals, Ottawa Bluesfest and Toronto Global Groove.

While honing his own style, Rômmel emerged with a mix of popular Brazilian music, afrobeat,

reggae, funk and jazz in his second album "Egológico Recycle". Created in collaboration with

musicians from Ethiopia, Cameroon, France and Brazil, this exotic disc unites compositions in

French, Portuguese and English. The high quality of his compositions, the ability to engender

good partnerships and his inspired performances resulted in several awards in Canada. In

2010 he received the "Great Revelation" award at the Festival Nuits d'Afrique and the very first

“Diversity Award”, granted by the Arts Council of Montreal and other cultural organizations.

Finally, in 2012 he was chosen as Radio Canada/CBC 2012-13 “Revelation on World Music”.

This last prize opened up new doors for him in the music scene. Since then, Rômmel had the

honor of being the opening act for the concert of Gilberto Gil in November 2012. Also he was

invited to record part of his third album in the excellent studio of Radio Canada/CBC in 2013.

In 2014, the musician plans to release his new album “Nada Direito” and embark in a tour

around Brazil and Europe. He promises breathtaking concerts, a deep musical miscegenation

and inspirited compositions. Here's an invitation to great music!


ALBUM EGOLÓGICO RECYCLE

Released on 16 April 2012 "Egológico

Recycle" includes 12 songs composed and

co-produced by Rômmel, where he mixes

elements of popular Afro-Brazilian music,

Reggae, Funk and Jazz, with lyrics in

Portuguese, English and French. The album

was recorded in Montreal, Sao Paulo and

Mexico City in 2011 in collaboration with

musicians from Ethiopia, Cameroon, France,

USA and Brazil in a truly world fusion style.
