LEANDRO KALÉN (1985, Buenos Aires) is a very gifted composer, singer, and multi - instrumentalist from Banfield, Argentina. His eclectic musical work represents a varied and colorful journey through a lot of influences: jazz, rock, funk, tango, Brazilian music, improvisation, avant-garde and folk music in general. But his music is not merely a fusion, his first album ‘Mecanica Celeste’ (2015) has a disctintive trademark regional sound, which is very much informed by the work of people like L.A Spinetta, Egberto Gismonti, Milton Nascimento and also by the strong Latin American folk tradition. Leandro’s latest release features beautifully arranged songs, well-crafted compositions and a superb cast of guest musicians which includes Argentina’s rock legend Litto Nebbia and world famous Brazilian Hermeto Pascoal. Besides his solo stuff, Leandro has worked and recorded with many musicians from all over the world, for example Fuerza Bruta, La Bomba de Tiempo, Raúl Carnota, Dave Newhouse (The Muffins), Bret Hart, Javier Barría, George Haslam, Manuel García, Oscar Giunta, among others.
