Editor's note

Leôncio e Leonel's Brazilian rhythms with a twist

A 1960s duo who mixed Brazilian sounds with jazz and rock when few others did.

If you're new to them, start with 'Canto Chorando' and 'Amor Volúvel'. That gives you a good sense of what they were doing.

Their 1962 song 'Canto Chorando' became their signature track, but they kept pushing. They recorded 'Casinha de Aço' and 'Pitoco' too, blending Brazilian rhythms with jazz and rock elements that weren't common at the time. Some of their lyrics even drew attention from authorities during Brazil's military government years.

They started performing in small venues around Rio de Janeiro before gaining wider attention. They kept recording through the 1970s, though details about their later work are sparse.
