Leleo worked with Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento, Marcelo D2 and others. In 2004 Leleo started a partnership with Bernardo Vilhena, famous Brazilian pop poet and lyricist, together they developed the album "Maravilhas" soon to be released in the UK on Acid Jazz.
Now Leleo is a singer,dj,composer and producer with a very definite sound which makes us feel firmly into the 21st century Brazil and yet it evokes that happy flavor found in the 1970's sound of people like Jorge Benjor and Sergio Mendes. It is acid as acid jazz meets new bossa samba swing. They call it "Acid Samba ". www.leleo.net
