"O cantor, compositor e músico carioca Ricardo Richaid lança o primeiro álbum, Travesseiro feliz, com som caracterizado pelo artista como “tropicalismo industrial”. Mixada com a paixão de Richaid por jazz e rock, além da música psicodélica e dos sons do Clube da Esquina, a influência da Tropicália faz sentido quando se conhece a genealogia do artista.
Neto da cantora Aurora Miranda (1915 – 2015), com quem viveu até os 17 anos, Richaid é, por extensão, sobrinho-neto da irmã de Aurora, Carmen Miranda (1909 – 1955), primeiro ícone tropicalista do Brasil no imaginário mundial.
No álbum Travesseiro feliz, cuja capa expõe arte criada por Sophy Hollington com alusões a signos tropicalistas, Richard canta uma das músicas do repertório inteiramente autoral, VIP Xuxa, com Ana Frango Elétrico, cantora e compositora carioca que também reverbera as liberdades sonoras conquistadas com a Tropicália.
Aliás, o time de convidados do disco vem sobretudo da cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Marcos Suzano toca percussão em outra das nove faixas, Só na darkzera. José Ibarra é parceiro de Richaid em Outra, música na qual, além de ter posto voz, tocou surdo e caxixi. Com Nina Richaid, Ricardo assina e canta Formigas.
Além de pilotar instrumentos como baixo, violão e guitarra, o artista assina a produção e a direção musical do álbum gravado entre outubro de 2018 e fevereiro de 2019 em estúdios da cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
Paralelamente à carreira solo iniciada com a edição do álbum Travesseiro feliz, Ricardo Richaid integra a atual formação da banda de rock progressivo Anjos de vidro, liderada por Luciano Strazzer." Mauro Ferreira

"On his debut album Travesseiro Feliz (Happy Pillow) Rio de Janeiro based dreamer and new Far Out Recordings signing Ricardo Richaid melds his tropical heritage with his love for psychedelic music, jazz and rock. He also takes inspiration from the many Brazilian greats –Caetano Veloso, Arthur Verocai, Ivan Lins, Joyce, Hermeto Pascoal, Marcos Valle and Azymuth (to name a few)– who he has worked with as an engineer, assistant and producer, in Rio’s former RCA studio, Cia dos Tecnicos.
As well as being heavily influenced by Brazil’s fabled Tropicalia movement, Richaid is the grandson of Brazilian actor, singer and Disney star Aurora Miranda (Carmen Miranda’s younger sister), so tropicalism is in his blood. Describing his sound as ‘Industrial Tropicalism’, Richaid’s music is undoubtedly a product of his environment. Just like Rio, it’s warm, hazy and beautiful. But reflecting the current mood of his homeland, there’s an ominous smog looming amongst its charm. Lamenting the political, economic and ecological crisis he sees engulfing Brazil, Richaid’s obscure, poetic lyrics touch on drugs, drones and darkness, emphasizing the importance of art to bring light in troubled times.
The unconventional time signatures and sunny jazz-folk meets post-punk aesthetic are adorned by Richaid’s studio smarts. Working day to day in Rio’s top studios, he developed a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the recording process. But seeking autonomy and total creative independence, Richaid went on an equipment finding mission in the USA. Upon returning, he set to work building his own studio in Rio’s Gavea district and began writing the tracks that would become Travesserio Feliz. Singlehandedly composing, producing and mixing everything himself, Richaid recalls the endless nights he spent working on the album, often sleeping on the studio floor.
Travisseiro Feliz features a host of notable names from across Rio’s music spectrum, including percussion sensation Marcos Suzano (Gilberto Gil), experimental pop artist Ana Frango Eletrico, and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jose Ibarra, who has been lauded for his recent performances as part of Milton Nascimento’s touring group. On interlude track ‘Formigas’ we also hear a few verses of Ricardo singing together with his 7-year-old daughter, Nina Richaid.
Living with his grandmother Aurora Miranda until the age of seventeen (who featured in Walt Disney’s Three Caballeros film, and happens to be the first human being to kiss Donald Duck… really!), young Ricardo would listen with intrigue to his father playing chromatic scales and bossa nova melodies on the saxophone; his mother’s Brazilian classical piano; or his punk rock brother slamming the drums. This eclectic musical upbringing led a teenage Ricardo to learning his trade as the bassist in a short-lived hard rock band, which disbanded when Ricardo began to dig deeper discovering the likes of Os Mutantes, King Crimson, Frank Zappa and especially the ‘Clube De Esquina’ sound pioneered by Milton Nascimento and Lo Borges. Since then, alongside engineering some of his musical heroes in Brazil, Richaid has played in bands like Mara Rúbia and nitú, from Rio’s underground experimental psych and jazz scenes."
