ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Ricardo is an artist, composer, and music producer based in Vancouver, BC. Born in Mozambique a few years after the civil war, Ricardo immigrated to Canada with his mother when he was just 5-years old. His music is an honest reflection of his journey, blending personal storytelling with boundary-pushing sounds, challenging the conventions of radio pop by weaving in layers of hip-hop, Afrobeat, Gospel, and R&B. Ricardo’s music comes from the perspective of a story teller. One who weaves the personal and the Universal. Ricardo’s main stories that he writes about have to deal with trauma; both relationally, familial, and generational trauma. Ricardo believes music is the medium for not only healing, but for communicating beyond what we normally do with language. From intimate Sofarsounds shows to festival main stages, his music invites you to join him on an unpredictable, unforgettable ride. Ricardo’s concerts are more than just a set—they’re an experience.
