Pedro Ricardo – Soprem Bons Ventos

On his debut album, Portuguese multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ Pedro Ricardo crafts a quietly moving record that drifts between jazz, electronics, and the folk traditions he grew up with. Soprem Bons Ventos (“Good Winds Blow”) carries a gentle emotional pull, balancing longing and melancholy with the promise that something brighter lies ahead. Jazz harmony, Iberian and Lusophone folk influences, and subtle electronic textures are woven together with field recordings, soft vocals, and warm percussion. The result is a record that feels both intimate and expansive: a reflection on memory, heritage, and forward motion, guided by patience, care, and an ear for atmosphere.
