Cancionario is the new record's work and concert from the Portuguese guitar player Ricardo Parreira. After his debut album "Nas veias de uma guitarra Tribute to Fernando Alvim", considered by the critics and experts as one of the most important documents dedicated to great composers in the history of the Portuguese guitar, he now continues in a new voyage: a work based on Fado, although more focused on traditional and popular Portuguese music.
This new record that will be followed by a new concert, has three invited voices, bass and percussions. It has rhythm, balance and diversity, in a voyage without sacrifice of our soul's history: "We need to feel like dancing, even when we don't want to do it..."
Ricardo Parreira is born in Paco de Arcos (Portugal) 23 years ago, amidst a family with bindings to Fado and Portuguese guitars. Son of Antonio Parreira (actually, teacher at Fado Museum in Lisbon) and brother of Paulo Parreira, both renowned musicians, he started his lessons while he was very young, first under his father's teaching, later at the Music Amateur's Academy and the National Conservatorium.
