Rodrigo Leão is back to town

One of the best Portuguese contemporary music composers will be presenting a group of concerts during this next week that are not to be lost.

Rodrigo Leão has granted some of the most important moments of the Portuguese music scene since the 1980’s. With other friends, he created two of the most interesting groups, Sétima Legião and the worldwide known Madredeus. With clear influences of contemporary classic music, he also adds Fango, traditional French music and many other little worldwide music influences, originating what one may call a unique world music that has granted him unanimous applause. Contributions of music personalities like Beth Gibbons, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Melingo, the ambassador of Argentina’s new Tango, have certainly helped Pedro Almodóvar, reputed Spanish movie maker, describes him as “one of the most inspired composers in the world”.

Any of his concerts, in Lisbon or around the world, are definitely something to be seen. This concerts, as an invitation of Museu do Oriente, will feature his voyages around the world, his last work (Mãe) and obviously some of his best work.
