Editor's note

Paulo Ricardo, from RPM to solo Brazilian rock

A Rio-born musician who moved from band hits to his own blend of rock and Brazilian styles.

For his solo tone, try 'Vida Real' or 'Tudo Por Nada'. The duet 'A Cruz e a Espada' with Renato Russo is another good frame.

He was part of RPM's early 80s formation, then carved out a solo path that never settled into one sound. Songs like 'A Cruz e a Espada' with Renato Russo show his collaborative side, while 'Vida Real' and 'Tudo Por Nada' became his own staples. His work pulls from rock without losing its Brazilian feel.

He started with RPM in 1983, then went solo in 1987 with a self-titled album. Later records like 'Frente e Verso' in 1990 and 'Só' in 1993 followed, along with various collaborations and songs.
