Riccardo Benigno brings a distinctive expression through song, sound and performance. Raised in Johannesburg, South Africa traveling the music dimensions from when he was able to lift a speaker. The sonic experience is extremely colourful with a beautiful diversity. Capturing a mixture of technical percussion grooves, dirty synthetic sounds and vibrant hypnotic vocals, the mixology reflects the future. Riccardo is a sound producer by heart and has spent years working with synthesizers, samplers, vocal effects processors and a number of analogue, as well as digital, hardware units all around the globe. After finishing a BA in Sound Production, he went abroad and found himself performing at some of the most highly renowned venues in the World. From Baum Colombia, through LXMUSIC Portugal, Harry Klein Germany, Mela Festival Norway and the powerhouse lrow Barcelona (Just to name a few), Riccardo has infused genres motivated by culture experienced from all his travels. Riccardo is the drummer for the afro, funk, pop, rock band Terrarium and writes music under aliases like SearchingSilence, Mr Bobby B, BeeziR, Themba and Ric Benigno. He also performs part of the progressive electronic trio SOUNDLANGUAGE, who launched their recording label in 2018 with numerous honest and insanely diverse records available on BANDCAMP and SOUNDLANGUAGE.CO.ZA.
So the next time you see Riccardo expect a completely original treat. Them filthy synthetic bass lines touching your booty, while he picks up his Super55 microphone and freestyles to create vocal melodies that will twist your mind… Riccardo is still at the very beginning of an untamed journey through the timeless universal language of sound.
