Ritmo is the fifth album to be recorded by English singer-songwriter Judie Tzuke. The album was released in September 1983 and peaked at number 26 in the UK.^[2]

The album was Tzuke's second and final studio album to be released during her contract with Chrysalis Records. Originally only released on vinyl album and cassette, it was remastered and released on compact disc in 1994 by BGO Records.

According to Charles Donovan of Popmatters, the songs on Ritmo are strong, particularly the new-wave soul ballad "Shoot From The Heart".^[3] Donnovan called the album "chilly and remote", and said it "has an innovative, shadowy atmosphere" and that "its best songs, especially the gothic melodrama, “How Do I Feel”, are like rushes of cold night air striking the face".^[3]
