Rick & Renner
Rick & Renner is a Brazilian musical duo of sertanejo music formed in 1986 by the singers and composers Geraldo Antônio de Carvalho, aka Rick (Monte do Carmo, December 5, 1966) and Ivair dos Reis Gonçalves, aka Renner (Patos de Minas, November 19, 1971).
In 25 years as a duo they performed for an audience estimated at 225 million people, with an average of 15,000 people per show.
Rick, who got a taste for music through his father, had a hard time finding a partner in the beginning of his career, having his sister as his first duo under the name Sereno & Serenata. However, after a certain time, Rick's father forbade his daughter to follow a career with his brother because they had to sing in some dangerous places. He went from partner to partner until the day he went to Brasília for a show and needed to call a nightclub to borrow some equipment and, while waiting on the line, he heard Renner singing in the background and wanted to meet him. Within the individualities of each one of the duo, a unique essence was elaborated. On one side, Rick, who grew up listening to popular songs sung by his father in the fairs of Tocantins and on the radio stations of Goiás. On the other side, Renner, who enjoyed the chords and lyrics of Legião Urbana, Capital Inicial and Os Paralamas do Sucesso.
They started working as Rick & Renner in 1986, performing in some nightclubs until they recorded their first independent CD in 1991 (with Renner as the lead singer). One of their shows was attended by Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano, who take them to the Continental East West recording company, which today belongs to the multinational Warner Music Brasil, where the duo's first official album was recorded in 1992, getting a good reception.
But success really came in 1998, when they released the song "Ela é Demais", which stayed for five consecutive months in the charts, and is considered until today one of the biggest classics of the duo and of the sertanejo music. All of the duo's CDs (except the second) were produced by Manoel Nenzinho Pinto, who, besides being a producer, was also the duo's manager. After many years of career, 18 CDs and 3 DVDs recorded, the duo has sold more than 10 million records, with an average of 150 concerts per year. Over time, they have recorded great hits such as "Ela é Demais", "Cara de Pau", "Muleca", "Fim de Semana", "Seguir em Frente", "O Amor e Eu", "Filha", "Só Pensando Em Você", "Eu Sem Você", "Nos Bares da Cidade", "Eu Mereço", "Bebedeira", "Nóis Tropica, Mas Não Cai", among others.
In early 2010 rumors that the duo might split up started to spread. This happened for many reasons, from the release of a parallel work of Rick Sollo with his son Victor Henrique, to Renner's candidacy for the Senate in Goiás. The separation culminated in Renner's absences in events to promote the work ironically titled Happy End, which had the illustrious participation of Frejat in the song that gives the album its name. The official announcement of the separation was made on January 1, 2011, at the duo's last show, which took place in Gaspar, Santa Catarina. After the release of the 21st album of their career and 22 years of partnership, one of the most beloved duos of sertanejo music has split up. A few days after the announcement, Rick adopted the artistic name Rick Sollo, signed with Talismã Music and released three new songs on the internet. Renner also continued in sertanejo, under the stage name Renner Reis, contradicting the information that he had become a gospel singer.
After almost two years apart, Rick & Renner resumed the formation on September 24, 2012, announcing that they would be performing together again. In the same year, they released the CD Inacreditável o Poder do Amor by Radar Records, produced by Rick. The recording of the duo's third DVD took place on February 20, 2013, in the Via Marquês concert hall, in São Paulo and included special appearances by Eduardo Costa, Rionegro & Solimões, Léo Maia and Pablo.
On January 5, 2015, Rick announced again, via Instagram, the end of the duo. It is likely that the new car accident involving Renner, who was intoxicated, was the reason. Rick stated that: "I lost count of how many times I sat down with him to give advice and fix mistakes...". After the separation, Rick returned to a solo career and released the album Foi Deus, with special appearances by Gusttavo Lima, Daniel, Rionegro & Solimões, Chitãozinho & Xororó, Bonni & Belucco, Marciano and Father Fábio de Melo. In 2017, he formed a duo with singer Giovani, from the defunct duo Gian & Giovani, called Rick & Giovani, with the project Dois Corações, which lasted until the end of 2018. Renner also formed another duo, called Renner & Rennan, after abandoning his gospel career.
