Leao, Rodrigo
O Rapaz Da Montanha
The name of composer Rodrigo Leao has long been familiar. First in Portugal, with the band Stima Legiao. Then, as part of another innovative project, Madredeus, his art crossed borders. When his first album under his own name (Ave Mundi Luminar) came out in 1993, he immediately realised that his music belonged to the world, and this has been confirmed throughout a career that already boasts a considerable discography, which also includes soundtracks and collaborations with big names such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy), Beth Gibbons (Portishead) or Michelle Gurevich, to name but a few.
