Editor's note

Leoni, the Rio singer with a quiet, personal voice

A Brazilian singer-songwriter whose 1980s ballads like 'Garotos II (O Outro Lado)' found a real audience.

If you're new to Leoni, start with 'Garotos II (O Outro Lado)' and 'Só Pro Meu Prazer'. They frame his sound pretty well.

Leoni's songs stick because they're plainspoken and emotional, without a lot of fuss. 'Garotos II (O Outro Lado)' is the one people remember, a ballad about male relationships that connected widely, even as it stirred some talk. Tracks like 'Só Pro Meu Prazer' and 'Fotografia' work the same way, just a guy singing about personal things.

He started in Rio de Janeiro in the 1980s, putting out his debut 'Leonino' in 1988. The records that followed, with songs like 'Por Que Não Eu?' and 'Muito Obrigado', kept that straightforward, emotional style going.
