The music on this retrospective, which draws together songs from his 14 albums, EPs and singles released since 2012, ranges widely and wildly across genres and styles, from the urgent and angular no-wave inspired punk-funk of \"Niños Heroes\" or \"Ilhas de Calor,\" through the psychedelic hoedown of \"Noite Invertida\" or the beautiful and delicate \"Esferas\" and on to the maximalist hyperpop of more recent works like \"RELA\" or \"Desejo de Lacrar.\" Negro Leo consistently confounds, confuses, disturbs and provokes. 'His music is explicitly and fiercely Brazilian and draws on the history of black Brazilian music for inspiration -- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGilberto Gil\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and Tropicalism, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eItamar Assumpção\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and the Vanguard Paulista, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunk Carioca\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBoi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's rhythm from the northern carnivals, the samba of the streets and the country -- it's all thrown into the mix, along with free-jazz, noise and various chunks of non-Brazilian pop. Leo's music and songs serve as an essential documentation of the country's rapidly shifting social fabric in the digital age, a time in which the country and its people feel lost in a \"jungle of pixels.\" Some of these surreal songs can feel overwhelming at times, like a wall of noise full of unfamiliar sounds and rhythms, but there's an unapologetic punk spirit behind it all, alongside a genius composer. It's worth pushing through the that sense of overwhelm to the place where the beauty and complexity of the composition and songwriting shines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68065805861082,"sku":null,"price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/HMRLP070LP_CU.jpg?v=1794092513","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/negro-leo-white-elephant-2lp-vinyl-uk-import-pre-order-out-12-4-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
