Biography

Caru Ricardo is a singer and creator of the "Planeta Oca" project, which brings together her passions for children, the environment, and music. The daughter of anthropologists who founded the Socioenvironmental Institute (ISA), Caru grew up in contact with diverse cultures and knowledge, which led her to develop a special sensitivity for the planet and childhood. With a career spanning over two decades, her work seeks to inspire new generations to care for the environment through art and affection.

Her artistic journey is marked by the integration of music and environmental awareness. Caru Ricardo has participated in various productions, albums, and shows, standing out for her work with "Planeta Oca." This project, conceived by her, consists of a musical-spectacle that uses original music, puppets, and storytelling to promote environmental awareness among children and families. "Planeta Oca" has been performed in important cultural spaces, such as SESCs, theaters, and schools, as well as at events like the São Paulo Book Fair and the Virada Cultural.

Caru Ricardo has collaborated with other artists on her musical journey, including the Tropicália artist Capinan on her single "Umbigo de Vênus." Her music is recognized for addressing themes such as the importance of water, trees, biomes, recycling, and indigenous peoples, always with a lighthearted, fun, and playful approach. The artist believes in the power of art and music to touch people's hearts, promoting a "sweet activism" that focuses on the positive and on transformation, thus forming future agents of care for the planet.
