Diogo Ramos

Brazil / Canada

Diogo Ramos is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and music producer based in Montreal. Born in São Paulo, he has had a 25-year career in the music industry, producing and composing for more than 20 albums. In 2010, Ramos left Brazil to settle in Montreal where he obtained a Bachelor of Music in Guitar Performance from the University of Quebec. Ramos blends samba, funk, rock, forró and electronic beats into his music, reflecting his roots in the eclectic Tropicalismo movement of Brazil. His most recent album "Cabaça" (2023) features contributions from several other Montreal-based expat musicians such as Djely Tapa of Mali, Boogat and Noé Lira from Mexico, and fellow Brazilians Bïa, Bianca Rocha and Flavia Nascimento. A recipient of multiple awards, including the Council of Arts and Letters of Quebec's Research and Creation Fellowship, Ramos is known for his collaborative projects and contributions to Montreal's vibrant, multicultural music scene.

On the upbeat song “Cabaça” (Gourd), Ramos sings “Go to the gourd field and pick a beautiful one / Put water in the center but make sure it doesn't spill / Spin, spin, the gourd on your head.”
