Ricardo Baez

Florence’s very own tastemaker Ricardo Baez has always been immersed in music. On one hand, he had his Italian father's extensive collection of old blues and jazz records. On the other hand, the 80’s pop cassettes his Venezuelan mother used as the soundtrack for her dance classes.

It didn’t take long for his eclectic style and boundless enthusiasm to start turning heads internationally. Berlin came calling through Tresor, Watergate and Renate. Then Frankfurt’s Live at Robert Johnson, New York’s House of Yes and Le Bain, and London’s XOYO and Corsica Studios.

He has appeared on compilations for Running Back, Correspondant, Polifonic, and Hotmix Records, as well as outstanding releases on Mule Musiq, Permanent Vacation, Bordello a Parigi and Correspondant.

Winter 2024 brings Ricardo Baez’s pièce de resistance: His stunning debut album, Tutto Passa, available on Live at Robert Johnson. Every track filled with meaning, an anthology of the most important moments in Baez’s life. Stay tuned - the lucky few who have heard it say this work of art is going to be yet another outstanding contribution to music. We’d expect no less.
