Diogo Ramos is a Brazilian singer-songwriter living in Montreal. Ramos has been working professionally for 25 years as a music producer, releasing 20 albums between composition and production.
The title song, Raro Efeito, is a prayer of hope to the people of Brazil, where the artist denounces the ongoing genocide in his native country. In Gamela, the text transports us through dance and “baião de dois” (typical dish of northeastern Brazilian cuisine). The piece Samba do Boncy, written in collaboration with Bïa, Imposs and Boogát, is a musical political act and a well-deserved tribute to the music journalist Ralph Boncy, who greatly contributed to the influence of artistic multiculturalism in Montreal. Sua Mão Direita celebrates this encounter between Diogo Ramos’ samba and Boogát’s electro Hip-Hop, interweaving Portuguese and Spanish lyrics that make you want to dance and smell the essence of the beach.
