Ricardo Luis "Riki" Musso Focaccio (born October 31, 1964) is an uruguayan musician, audio engineer and radio host. He is the younger brother of Roberto Musso and is mostly known for having been the guitarist and co-founder of the alternative rock band El Cuarteto de Nos from 1984 to 2009. His style is characterized by a heavy use of elements found in avant-garde music such as abstract, satirical lyrics and out of tune vocals. However, with the release of ¡Formidable! in 2014, Riki has taken a more indie / alternative rock approach and his style despite keeping some of the crucial components of his past work has become more guitar driven rather than synth driven. Among his most popular works are Farmacia (1993/96), Servo (2006) and ¡Formidable! (2014), an indie rock album which won five graffiti awards. Musso would later form the band Riki Musso y sus fabulosos Los Formidables and release Pájaro Batman in 2016. In addition to his solo work, Riki has also formed part of Exilio Psíquico and La Tabaré. He has also recorded, mastered and mixed albums for other uruguayan independent artists like Niña Lobo, Buenos Muchachos, and Niquel.
Musso is the host of a radio show (which he named after his album Servo) which airs in Uruguay's "Emisora del Sur 94.7" and "Radio Nacional SODRE" stations. His radio shows have featured interviews with members of his previous group El Cuarteto de Nos on various occasions. Most notably vocalist and brother Roberto Musso and bassist Santiago Tavella.
