Ricardo Bendek: the story and songs to start with

Ricardo Bendek’s path from solo work to a personal third album

Ricardo Bendek is a Salvadoran composer and independent producer whose Bandcamp page points to releases made with collaborators including Naomy Díaz, Nadine Masri, Rodrigo Bonilla and Spuk. A Diario El Mundo interview says he began releasing music as a solo artist in 2018 and that his third album, Nunca había sentido tanto, came from grief, maturity and a need to heal. The same interview says he made that album on piano instead of guitar and describes it as a very personal project.
